Have been lucky enough to get some very settled weather the last week. This settled weather coincided with big tides, so not exactly perfect conditions but good enough for me!
Had a session on the rocks trying to get a big female but the swell was still running a bit and along with the big tides, it just wasn't the conditions that the big fish like. Still, I got some very decent coalies and pollock.
The next day, it was time to get the SIB out... I found the fish very shallow again, and they were really fired up! All in the 50-60cm with some good coalies among them.
As it wasn't windy, I picked up the fly rod and had a great time with coalies and small pollock. At some point, a better fish came along and reminded me of how much fun it is playing them on fly gear!
I was just using my cheapo 9' 8wt with a 6ips full sink line and a chartreuse/white clouser minnow.
Below some pics and a video of the day.
Unfortunately, I won't be having any more sessions until next week as I got my family over, but ill definitely get on it again soon after new year.
Thus, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and tight lines for now!
