Eling

Yesterday we decided to try something new, a trip from Eling. With a Spring tide and 18mph winds forecast we thought the water around Eling would be safer and more comfortable.
After setting off at around 9.30am it wasn't long before we had caught our first of many small Bass, trolling as we made our way out to deeper water. It was surprising how shallow it was initially but as we got closer to the container ships the water shelved off to about 60 feet.
The fishing wasn't great, Tim caught a Pouting and a small Whiting but that was all so, we moved off towards the railway bridge. For some reason I had it in my head that I had to give this place a try and now that I have I probably wont return. I didn't get so much as a bite . Tim got a larger Bass but nothing else was happening.
Although feeling safe, the wind was a nuisance and made paddling and peddling hard work so to end the day we tried our luck at the mouth of Eling creek. Again, lots of small Bass and, a Flounder.
Not the most successful of days but worth a try and still an enjoyable day.

Makes you feel a bit small!
