Corinella Pier Today.28/11/15

[jasew3]

Gday all
Decided to venture back to the pier today with my son seeing as the weather was very good for fishing. Arrived about 12ish so I we were in plenty of time for the change off tide. Baited up my sons rod with Pipis and pilly and off he went. So I decided to go back to the car and grab my rod with the squid jig on it, good decision as my third cast I scored a med sized squid. The guy next to me scored two for the day, but I didn't get any more luck as I think the water was alittle dirty. My son landed a med size eagle ray which we threw back in, which he caught on my fresh squid too. Overall was a good day to get out even though I didn't score much. The pier wasn't over crowded considering the decent weather so was happy with that too.Sorry I don't have any pics to share as there wasn't much to show anyway.
cheers Jase :water: :fish22: :thumbsup:

No mean feat landing those eagle rays at any size. I was doing a survey on the Corinella jetty during the week, and there was one as big as I've ever seen swimming around near the end. Good luck trying to land that one!

Eagle rays are pretty fun to fight. I wasn't far away, I fished the entrance of the Tenby Channel today hoping for a snapper.

they become damm hard work as they get bigger



this one I guessed was around 5 foot across caught on 24 kg gear at Hovel Pile - damm hard word

I was one channel closer to Corinella from tenby around the time the wind started to build - jasew3 probably saw me paddle past the pier around 2.30 - 3 pm on my way in
earlier in the day down near Elizabeth Island I picked up 2 pinkies at 43 and 31 cm on flathead fillets but i found it fairly quite on the water
no pics but are now just fillets in the fridge

That must've towed you around a bit, does an eagle ray powered kayak need to be registered?

Flathead fillets? I've often wondered about if they are any good for bait, but don't think I've ever used them. Clearly they work, any idea how they rate or are they a last resort sort of bait?

well fresh flathead is the best flathead bait and I used it a couple of years back on the snapper and it caught them
I think most fresh flesh baits are good, last season I caught a lot of snapper on fresh couta but I got couta on the way out most trips

if you are fishing for flathead - the best bait is flathead

really a flathead fillet off a just size flatty is a perfect size strip bait on a 6/0 circle just pinned at one end - it doesn't spin in the tide - snapper dont pull it off the hook and don't bite it in half

like any bait it's good if thats what the fish are biting on the day

I caught a 1.5m gummy on a flatty head a month ago, I've seen a report posted here of a mulloway that had a couple of flathead in it when they opened it up. Presumably snapper would eat them too. I figure if it's in the area something probably eats it.

Points noted, thanks chaps.
