Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

I mostly drag estuaries , I don’t like to get too deep that’s how you loose nets & get into strife..did that once so now I play it safe & no my spots pretty well , Mostly use a 20m net .

Thank you for info gives us a starting point .

Well i put the net back in this morning.

Only 1 flounder today.

However just after we finished picking it up, the oldest boy say "what do these guys want dad"?

Looked up to see two fellas in wet suits approaching from the mud flats, they had to swim a back channel to get to where we were.

Turns out they had been drag netting in another channel and got their net stuck. Ended up having to abandon it, reckon they will go back at low tonight and retrieve it.

In the meantime the tide had come in and they were worried about swimming the channel so were very happy to receive a ride back to the launching point.

I foresee a few spikey dogs in your future.............................25 / 25 is definitely on the cards

carrots better eating then snapper and longlining is boring af!

Yeah agreed but they help tell us which depth to rod fish to chase the snaps, its early in the season so if we can get a gauge on them then we can go hunting .
