Fishing outside The Rip

Post by Yota » Sat Sep 30, 2017 6:38 pm

G'day everyone, I'm keen on heading outside the rip and trying some bottom jigging but mainly bottom bait fishing in my boat. Not too far out, I'll stay within 2 nautical miles so nothing too dramatic. I'm just keen to get an idea, when I get out of the heads, I was planning on a right turn and investigating what I can find towards Barwon Heads. Or should I turn left and head towards Sorrento ?
Hopefully in the coming weeks I can get a chance to give it a go and get some practice and experience before the warmer weather arrives and it gets busy. This Monday is looking good and I do have time off work now but "priorities" are very fluid at the moment - if you know what I mean,,,
My preference is for a feed of gummy, but any action is worth it for me. Snapper, anything.
So what do you reckon, out the heads, left or right ?

Cheers
Jamie
