 Gummy Mayhem
Finally got out for fish after the horrid conditions that have been around this week. Not a touch at my first mark so headed for the secret spot! Not much happening to start with , and then with half an hour left before the change of tide it went berserk for the next hour an half landing 14 gummy sharks to 10kg  and dropping around six. Kept two smaller models for a nice feed of Flake!  (bag limit) This has been by far the most gummies I’ve ever landed and what started out a slow day ended up being a ripper. Not a sign of a snapper so hopefully head out Wednesday for a go at them.

 Re: Gummy Mayhem
Sorry no pics, fishing by myself makes it a bit difficult, as some might no gummies do have a tendency to make thing messy when you get them in your boat. Not bragging  , but have landed a lot of gummies over the last few years so unless their of the larger variety (15kg or more) I just de hook them and throw them back, that's after I've got a feed of course. Cheers

 Re: Gummy Mayhem
good work Joffa, thats a lot of gummies in a quick session. When there on there on, the worst days fishing can quickly become a good one within a few minutes. I keep telling myself that I will have to go out and chase some snapper and gummies every year but never get around to it.

 Re: Gummy Mayhem
Ray Method of choice was spinnerbaits  Single 7/0 circle hooks with a 100mm strip of squid and the other was half a large squid head, which the one bait landed three fish within ten minutes.  All the norms I suppose steady barometer, change of tide at dusk on a new moon and a nice deep hole. Steady on boys.  I just realized things lined up pretty well, have to remember that for next time. Boob's you should give it go, its top fun when you get onto a few. Joffa's charters will be running from now until christmas, cheap prices, can't promise any decent fish though.  Good luck tomorrow Ray Cheers

 Re: Gummy Mayhem
well. did no good except for a feed of peckerheads....snook and the odd whiting, had to move about a bit as being shadowed by seals...that strippped off any fish hooked b4 they got to the boat, then albatrosses later on..all on whitebait, pilchards and squid.
didnt even take out a lure...went on a charter off Queenscliff to the back of Torquay.

 Re: Gummy Mayhem
Would be nice to live near the coast to just slip out on those calm days for something different. Great report
