E is for expectation

Date: 2011-02-20
Launch: 15:00
Next tide: 17:00 Low
Wind: 5-10kt SE
Sea: 1m E swell
Return: 17:40
Days since new moon: 17
Water temp: 24.6-25, warmed constantly
Location: Spot E
Catch: Doughnut

Paddled past one of the usual spots and decided to go exploring. Passed one spot that looked like a small reef, which I marked, and kept going. Found another rise, this time much larger. Tried several drifts over it. The combination of the SE breeze and a slight southerly current had me going a little south of west.

Plenty of bait around and the odd surface boil but not a touch on the plastics. Like spot C, I think this will be worth exploring in different conditions
