Thanks TLT.
Sometimes when you get those glassed out conditions you get to see a few things that normally would go unnoticed.
The two photos I took were taken about 5.00pm, when the tide was about two hours into the ebb.
Immediately adjacent to the water/ beach line, within the first foot or two of water, schools of tiny bait fish were active, often breaking the water.
A little further out, twenty metres or so, fish were gently breaking the water and occasionally swirling on the surface, much like trout do in a lake. Most likely they were mullet.
Normally, with wave action or wind chop, these small things would never be seen. This gives rise to speculation that when the conditions are right, it may be time to put away the long rods and do some light line float fishing. It may also be worthwhile tossing out some surface lures in case bigger things are looking at a feed of mullet!
