People:me
Duration:2-3 hours
Tide:lowest of low
Weather:warm and calm
Bait:fresh mack
Rigs:3/0 pulleys
Report:hit the usual spot to see what was happening... Got into a ray straight from the off, only a small male. About 20 mins later and a big bend in the rod and what looked and felt like a PB surfaced, lost it as I was handlining it up the pier, hook bent out!
About 10 mins after this, hooked up again and got a nice female..I must invest in a set of scales!!..
After this the tide was rushing in at an almighty rate and it was a losing battle tryin to stay in contact with the bottom!..so packed up and went home.
Sorry about the first photo, a lot of sun in shot!!
Quick report....
