Report for 10/4/08
Dad and I tried again yesterday. Trying to make the most of the half-decent weather before he headed home today. Due to the huge cost of fuel running wide, we thought we would try some marks closer in to West Point. But we had very little success. Even the live baits just swam around all morning hardly being harassed at all. There was plenty of bait hanging off the various structures, and I sear there were mackerel amongst them, but we couldn't entice anything. Good thing the weather was so good, cus the fishing really sucked! I am blaming the tide. Only a 0.5m change in tide. Even the day earlier had just over 1.1m change. Oh well. As Dad has retruned to Batemans Bay again, tomorrow (Saturday) I will have the family on the water. Hope a better run in tide improves the fishing for us.
