Decided at the last moment to go for a quick fish down off the north wall of Hillarys last night. Arrived just on sunset and after setting up two rods, one with a shimano baitcaster chasing something sizeable and the other with a stradic to cat out unweighted mulies, I went to work trying to burley up some action.
After about an hour of not getting any decent bites, the burley really started to come into affect and I had a good school of bait fish working virtually at my feet.
The hunters soon arrived and I soon caught a couple of tailor - too small to keep unfortunately. But I could see some larger fish dashing about in the outer shadows.
Just when I was thinking all my hard work was about to pay off, along came a dolphin - which proceeded to rip through the bait school and move everything off.
It took me another hour and the rest of my burley to get something happening again - and the cheeky bugger came along and did the same thing.
I am sure it was having a great laugh at my expense.

It was still a very beautiful night and it was good to see that there was a lot of bait fish around.
I will take a camera down next time and catch that dolphin in action.
All the best, Colin Hay
