Weekend at Greencape
Just spent a wet and windy weekend at Greencape. The forecast was good early in the week then changed the day before I left. Had I not been desperate to get out of Melbourne for a while probably would have pulled the pin.
My usual spot was 'a bit rough'....
and not being a complete moron I chose not to try and fish there. Instead was relegated to spinning one of the protected bays you can drop into. A recent storm seems to have removed the beach I like to fish off so it was a little ledge session instead.
The place, as always, is stunning. This one faces away from the swell and was relatively easy spinning.
Some acceptable salmon considering it looked like a bust on arrival.
It rained most of the time and was simply too dangerous to fish any of the ledges there. Until next time I think the sign at a cafe at Mallacoota I stopped at on the way home sums up the experience nicely....

Great spot that Dougie, well done, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Re: Weekend at Greencape
you'll pull a decent fish out of there one day, and the dozens of empty handed trips will be all worth while

I'd suggest going further north. It's been more than half a decade since anyone has got a Tuna at Greencape and in the 29 days i've spent there since december 2015 I haven't seen a kingfish landed.
