Last night at Pinnarroo Point
After Blake T's reports of some good tailor and a few mulloway being caught down at Pinnaroo Point, Doug, Brendan and I decided to head down there last night to have a look. With predictions of a strong breeze to be blowing we arrived to find there was very little wind at all.
After getting a good hit and smallish tailor on my first cast, it was looking good. Doug soon had a nice herring on the beach before things went quiet for awhile.
Brendan and I put fillets of Doug's herring out, but things were still a bit quiet until the drag on my Shimano Big Baitrunner started screaming. It soon became obvious it was sizeable stingray which made snapped my 15 lb braid like a piece of cotton when I tried to stop it from heading to Two Rocks.
Soon after that Doug and I pulled in twin tailor of about 34 to 35 cm.
The action then went quiet again, with the fish being a bit timid with their bites. I managed to hook a small Port Jackson shark, but that was it for the night.
All in all it was a very pleasant evening and we will be back, especially when a south wester is blowing.

It was just one of those nights Brendan that we have
all had when the fish just seem to go past your bait.
Next time you will be the one who has all the luck.

Good 1 1-B-D
Nice to hear from you #1, was about to send you a PM! Sounds like a lovelly night to down at the water's edge. Shame it wasn't more prolific. Maybe to light a wind with no surface chop/wash as far as the tailor go Col?
BTW, you need to take it easy, you're looking a bit light headed in that photo

Hi Colin
A nice bit of chop would definately been helpful I think. But still it was better than the predicted 25 to 30 knotts, so I guess we can't complain too much.

Sounds like a pretty good
Sounds like a pretty good night to me. It's not always the fish that we catch that makes it fun it's also the enviroment and the company.
May be I should planning something simillar when I'm in Perth in Dec hey Colin but then again I would probably be too worn out by the Samsons and rather hit the sack early heheheh

I was hoping you might have been able to join us Chris
A bit of local knowledge would have been handy.
Great looking spot though and we only explored about 50 metres of it (that was all we could see in the dark).

Otoshi you need to go there before first light or just on dark
as the place gets overrun with windsurfers.
