Things have been quiet in the water by the beach since October with the surface predators such as Needle fish and Sind Halfbeaks disappearing until a couple of weeks ago with the onset of warmer water and hotter air temperatures.
The take.
I have been wading out the last two Fridays and had one half beak on the 17th and lost one, plus today 24th landed 2 (largest 14" and smaller 10"). There were many lunges and takes but given the smooth, hard beak its tough to get the hook to lock in.
Played out
Given the activity, I was pretty much kept busy for the 1.5hrs I was in the water on the "little dip" low tide, the full low coming at about 10pm tonight. Its quite windy today and I timed the visit to coincide with the lowest winds of the day (12-14km/h).
About to be unhooked and released
At time of fishing; humidity was 51%, Wind S & 10km/h, with 1008 millibar pressure
