I fished for the first time at 6 mile reef twice last week. Just a few couta and gurnard, put the couta back for a gummy and nothing. Need to learn some more wider marks. Any help most appreciated. I have some unreal sounder pics of schooling (something) off raymond island. Would love opinions of what they were.

The 4 and 6 mile have been very patchy lately. Fish will come on down the pipeline shortly. Keep an eye on the water temp. 15c is the trigger point.
Gummies are hanging wide in 45-50mtrs. On mud/sand bottom. So keep going passed the 6 mile till you are 8 mile 0ff shore. The beach has a lot of slimmy weed on it so no fish there.

So a calm day at last. Crossed the bar when it was just light enough to see, at 5.30am. Decided to go out past the 6 mile to a bit of bottom about 8 mile off. Far Out charters came scooting past me as I crossed the bar. I am sure the punters on it thought there was a crazy man out in a tinny in the almost dark. He headed to a similar spot just a bit closer in.
First cast was as the sky was starting to red up, 10 minutes before sunrise. While I was baiting up the second rod, my first rod started nodding up and down. Two minutes later and the first pinky was on board. Followed up with another 6 over the next 15 minutes. Then it was all over.
Tried a few spots out there but zip so headed in closer and saw a nice show on a bit of hard bottom 5 miles from home. Managed a Jacket and 2 more pinkies. headed home and back at the ramp at 10am.. :water:

Good feed there for sure
When you say tinnie, how big is it ??
I think of 12ft when someone says tinnie.

Nice boat mate
When people say they're going 6 or 8 miles off shore, I think of large boats
Like Barra Mick's 20 odd footer.
Also if I'm told something is 4.3 metres long, I can't picture it.
If I'm told it's 14 ft long, I know its size.

All the boat a man needs though and those side supports work a treat!

Nice work re-tyred good feed. How'd you get on with seals? I was out the front last weekend rough as guts and got plagued by seals. Lost 6 to them and only managed 2 pinkies. Mate got 4 gummies down the grange today.
