Couldn't sleep so rolled out of bed at 2:30am thought I would get an extra hour in. Went out to the shed to get all my stuff and bugger me I can't find my head lamp. Impossible to fish out there without it so I hunted for about 40 bluddy minutes racking my brain for where I had left it (I only used it 23 hours ago!!!!!):o. Anyway time was ticking and the tide was moving so I nipped down to the local servo and grabbed a small torch. Off I went to the end of Diamond Head to hit the last beacon!

Waded out there and the potholes hadn't improved. Got out there and threw out the Gulp Minnow 4inch in Pumpkin seed. After about 5 mins I was on to a small flattie who went 28cms so off he went to fight another day. Kept casting and then snavelled a 28cm Bream. Fought like the begeezas! Was some good fun. He went back (Only like to keep em over 30cms). There was a lull in proceedings then Wooooompa! Now I dropped one yesterday and I needed to redeem myself so I took my time and guided the big fella in. Got the lip grips on him and he went 59.5cms. (Soooooo close to 60 but that is the way it goes.)

Kept on casting about and scored another nice little bream that went 27cms. He put on a show too. Very fiesty. He hit the minnow like a freight train. Very entertaining!

Then just on about 5:30 am got a 38cm Flattie. Headed back in wading through chest deep water at around 6:15am. What a great morning. Much fun and a big improvement on yesterday!

Anyway, off to the beach to teach my nephew to swim and young bloke to surf.

Excuse the pics, was low light but better than nothing! (Gopro has no flash)


P.S. After complaining to my young bloke this morning about the headlamp he says "Oh, it's in that box in the front of the car, I saw it yesterday". ONLY BLUDDY PLACE I DIDNT LOOK!!!!;D;)8-):-?:):D

Girls were suitably impressed!
That is a front on shot of the 1st Bream I got. Crappy shot I know. Had camera in one hand, fish in the other, rod clamped between my knees and torch in my mouth! :D;P

Hey there Funchy, I thought you might do a little bit better than yesterday. You must be keen to go chest deep in the morning. Have you ever thought of getting one of those little kayaks to fish from? N e way... Well done! It was worth the effort.;D
