HOPING the tailor were still around, five hardy souls (Jody, Sherbs, Dean, Doug and myself), headed down to Pinaroo Point last night. While a solid breeze and fair amount of weed made the conditions far from ideal, it looked like it was going to be a really good night when Jody, Doug and I arrived to see two of Sherb and Dean's rods bending right over with line screaming off their reels.
The excitement was mounting in the hope that at least one of the rods had a mulloway attached as Dean and Sherbs settled in to try and stop whatever was on the other end. After a bit of a tussle, Dean's line came free and then it was up to Sherbs. Some five or 10 minutes later he had a pretty angry, flapping ray on the sand. A bit of manhandling, a few pics and the ray was soon headiong off at a rate of knotts. We weren't sure if Dean had also had a ray on or if the lines had crossed and tghe one ray was pulling both lines out.
After that thigs quietened down as we tried to find the best way to get our baits to hold in the right spot without getting weeded up.
While there was some sporadic bites, the catch was restricted to one herring landed by Dean until I managed a pretty decent tailor.
That was pretty much it for the night, with the wind and weed winning out. There were some fish there, but the tricky conditions made solid connectionds hard to come by.
Hopefully summer will eventually arrive and we will get a chance to really see what is down at Pinaroo Point.

Sherbs took a few pics, so I expect he will post them up when he gets a chance,
All the best, Colin Hay
