Weed Beds failed again but wait there is more!

Liam and I went to to the weed beds off Cape Cleveland this morning. We arrived in the spot at dawn and let the berley trail do its thing! The only problem it failed to deliver! We fished until 9.30 am and then moved over to do the tripods.

Mal and Tania and family were there also but I will let him do there report, though when we left they were empty as well. Hard to work out the weed beds at times!

Again, the berley trail failed to have any bait fish even though we had a reasonable slick out the back. We then headed over to the shipping channel. When we arrived we finally found some bait and Liam managed a nice queen fish on a metal slice first cast! We then tried another drift and Liam landed a nice bonito (look alike, I had trouble working out the id. of the beasty). But no fish on fly! I guess there is always next weekend.
