Bad luck buddy. You were so confident too. Did you boat anything at all? Change spots?

Many lice about?

Welcome to westernport. Just when you think you got it worked out it kicks tou in the balls.
Im going out tomorrow arvo. Might try for a few whiting and pinkies. Then the big grey at night.
I stuck it out for whole tide. Couple Banjos, Big Ray. Also had some very aggressive mouthings/hits of bait looked exactly like a Gummy, completely crushed a Yakka head and took whole chunk of salmon, no hook up tho.. 7/0 Circle with drag set about 2kg.. idk. Was good experience though. Itching to get back out at night again, hopefully can make my way down south next time.

What gear/rigs were you using bait etc? Did you make sure your bait doesn't spin?

Salmon, Trevally, Yakkas as chunk baits
30lb braid, shock leader, 80lb leader
7/0 gama circle
always make sure bait doesn't spin. If it does i re rig it again until i get it right
