Seaway Quick Report Friday 9th December 2011
Got one mid size bigeye on a popper over the pipeline just on first light, some GT's surface feeding for about 5 mins near the pipeline just after sunup, got a couple of those high 40's, lost a couple of others. Lots of Bigeyes (from 30-55cm)and the occasional tailor feeding on surface in the wash along the north wall from first light til about 6am, weren't interested in poppers but were happy to hit 20 & 30 gram twisties. Heaps of small bigeyes feeding on surface in the broadwater, got about 20 of those. Also had a quick troll in the broadwater, got one GT and a couple of tailor, lost a couple of other good fish. Busy morning, plenty of surface feeding but you had to be in there quick. Swell was massive 2-3m easy, but the wall was fishable.. just. Saw some striped tuna feeding just north of wavebreak but couldn't get a cast into them.

I never, ever anchor in the seaway or around the ends of the walls. For one thing the tidal flows are so strong it can be nearly impossible to get the anchor up. For another drifting helps you locate fish that are not in the area you have anchored, the fish can be anywhere along the walls or along current lines.

mate, when your fishing the end of the wall or even in the seaway do you anchor up or are you on the drift all the time?
cheers
