TR by Pedro
Wind: light but cool SW-W
Swell: less than 1m E
Water temp: 22°C
Launch point: Middle Groyne
Participants: Pedro from MG, Sunshiner from SBDB
I launched in the dark at 5am and headed to Granite Bay to catch gar.
As there was no swell, I anchored up in 3 meters of water close the rocks, just inside the last point (Fairy Pools) and deployed a berley pot. I was using a packet berley from the tackle shop but white bread works.
First cast with garfish rig, also bought at shop (small float with a couple of small long shank hooks and split shot added) baited with prawn and a double hookup. Ended up with about nine before they went off the bite around 7.30am.
Slow trolled gar out to North Sunshine for zilch so drift fished, trailing a gar and casting pilchard and prawn for 2 snapper, biggest went 44cm.
There was a current running from north to south so decided to troll back to my start point and drop anchor, this seemed to work and I ended up with a couple of grassies and a tusky around 40cm.

During my paddle I had a radio call from Sunshiner who had launched from SB Dog Beach. His account of the day is below.
Cheers

Hi guys
Doggie Beach was easy this morning. Launched at 1045.
Fished Doggie Beach reef with SP for three hours for nothing. But just drifting around in the sun was nice anyway. Pedro was out at north Sunshine catching a few snaps and sweeties on bait.
Gave it away and caught a small wave coming in. Chestcam was running and provided this pic.
Heading for Jew Shoal early tomorrow. No whales sighted or heard today.
