Another beautiful day, a day to relax and catch some fish, based on my experience at 80 mile beach I figured I’d head down around 11 am and fish the last hours of the rising tide. Fortunately the little kiosk here had some bait (much cheaper the 80 mile, $4.50/pkt). After my poor investment at 80 mile, I only purchased a small packet of mulies (6 in total). On the way down to the beach I saw a guy who was also was at 80 mile beach cleaning some fish, he had caught a nice size bluebone and a cod. After a bit of a chat I was filled with confidence, apparently here the best fishing is at the change of tide not near hide tide, he said the fish were biting at 8 am through to 10 when they stopped and here I am heading down at 11. The action was particularly slow, the upside is the 6 mulies lasted nearly 3 hours. I had the occasional bite particularly from the long toms that were chasing bait fish just in front of me. On to my last bait, one small bite, reeled in, nothing, cast out for the last time, a good solid bite and finally a hooked fish. A very nice Golden Trevally. I was able to cut two fillets about an inch thick that each covered the frypan. Finally a fish meal.

The rest of the afternoon was spent swimming and walking up the beach to see the rock formations we had seen the day before
