Fish came from around 130ft two from the Trapper coyote and silver/purple flasher and a purple anchovy head and blue flasher hugging the sandy bottom.

Jan 29 Bob was out to Trail to fish the three hours leading up to the 2:30pm high tide. After setting a string of prawn traps a pod of killer whales passed by heading to Merry Island. Bob released one from 150ft and then took a keeper from 120ft both fish took the lime/ flasher and army/truck coyote. The bite came on two hours before slack nothing after. Prawning was good best trap was set at 280ft.

Jan 30 Bob was to Trail to fish the three hours leading up to the morning low at 11:00am. Released one shaker and one that was very close from 120ft two hours before the tide both, from the army/truck coyote. Then at the tide was into a large fish which pulled free of the rigger and was into the rod right away from 200ft, but after a short hard run and a head shake was gone. This fish took the trapper coyote.
