Bate Bay


Yowie

Recommended Posts

Headed out before sunrise this morning to Bate Bay. Tried lures around Jibbon Point, no hits, a squid jig with no hits, so headed out further.

Took a while to find any blue spot flatties, the place was alive with spiky flatties instead. When I found a couple of blue spots, the size was not large at all. Also dropped a couple, a few just unders, and quite a few barracouta as well. 

Some dolphins popped up beside the boat, splashing and rolling on the surface, then they pushed a school of pillies and small slimeys to the surface and were into them, the bait fish trying to escape but nowhere to hide.

Enough for a feed tonight, flattie fillets in lime juice and sweet chilli sauce with some chips and veges.

 

Looks like the photo failed to upload, the biggest flattie just under 40cm.

It always good to be fishing Yowie and even better when u come home with a feed

Not a lot about at present, but it is good to be fishing and catch something for the table.

Look forward to the photos Yowie, enjoy those fillets!

The fillets were nice. Something happened to the photo, however, we have all seen plenty of flatty photos, especially yourself.

Good to get out before it turns sour.

The low pressure system next week will be pumping up the swell. Conditions were fairly good for a drift.
