Torquay reef

Scratched a long held itch and headed out off fishos for the short trip to the artificial reef. Joined the half dozen other craft all doing much the same as us, having a ball hooking any number of bait fish - mainly mackerel with a few yakkas mixed in, while soaking a couple as live bait, under the school. If allowed to reach the bottom baits were immediately scoffed by undersized pinkies. Massive amount of bait in the water, which was a promising deep blue colour, but no bigger fish, and none seen on the sounder. Unfortunate sacrifice of my favourite rod, which was being used by my stepson......, slipped out of his grip as he hooked up and disappeared into the briny..., if anyone pulls in an ancient shimano graphite rod with an equally old bass one reel.........., let me know!
Cheers, Mat.
