Andy135 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Friday saw a near perfect weather forecast so I booked the day off and hit the water. Plan was to head 15 miles south to the overfalls to drift for bass on slow jigs, then find somewhere to sink a squid or two. Headed out of the harbour to grey but calm conditions. And after a brief sprint... 😁 I arrived at the Overfalls and began the first drift... ...Many drifts later I gave it up for a blank 😭 and headed inshore to the Fingers, a mark that has produced some good conger and whiting for me in the past. So down went the pick and down went the squid. A few rattles later and my favourite fish appeared. 💪 A couple more followed before my time was up, so on pain of getting home late I dropped the hammer (again) on the way back in. 😁 GPSguru, Dicky, Geoff and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailfish Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) We were at the fingers on Friday afternoon (Predator 165 "High Hopes"), I saw a blue boat go past so think you might have anchored uptide of us. We had a short burst of good whiting, straps, a blonde ray on a live bait and a few dogfish, one of which was also on a live bait Edited November 21, 2021 by Sailfish Dicky and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly came over for a chat after I pulled the anchor but didn't want to disturb your mark. You had some good fish - glad you had a better session than I did. Would love to read your report in full if you fancy posting one up? 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Were there any charter boats out on the overfalls? They have been bagging up on bass the last few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't look like a potter or a netter either. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
