I think if you went out tommorow you might have to walk on water to get home and that will involve serious pray. As the old saying goes " no atheists in fox holes when the bombs are going off".

Thanks heaps gang :) and yep did get out though so sore n sorry in the rear rump it aint funny lol. Weather was quite ordinary going out with a stiff northerly blowing right at us. We wanted to get out to Douglas and surrounding area and after aprox 6 or so miles decided to head east in the hope it might drop out later and a good toss it was too.
Headed over to Leechyees for a tad without much luck and from there it was as follows lol, Mastead, Allowable end of Erskine, cabbage Patch. Wistari, Heron Reef which was nice n covered from a continuing stiff Northerly and for awhile it looked like it may have dropped off a wee bit so up anchor and decided tohead down south to a few Red Jew Marks i had tucked away in the plotter only to get there and up it came with a vengence again!!!(Bummer, Buggar n Itchypoopykakka!!) so upp anchor again for the hundreth time and back to Heron Reef..
Played tag with friendly Sharks all night which really liked our company or might have been the aftershave i smeared over my noggin few days prior???..
Tell ya what , four bags of ice from Barney Point and still unopened by ten that night wasnt the best of fishing trips to date ey lol..
Anyhow wind mighta blew its socks off but at rest quite comfy alongside Heron Reef till this morning which seen a few Trout and reasonably good Lipper in the icebox.
Moved to Wistari about 0700 or thereabouts and some snodger Lipper come over pay a visit and put to rest in the icebox , Few Trout though nothing in size to write home about but all in all we came home with a decent feed and a Very Sore backside as a tractor suspension seat which i thought i had done extremely well in the purchase decided to pop its springs as well as support and the shock to the acebone from the weather took its toll.
GREAT to have goten out after all this time with Boat as well as owner in Drydock and tide level in ye ole freezer up a tad with a few decent feeds of fillet again.
Now just need to wash the Boat , replace the seat and look forward to the next trip which hopefully will be a tad more comfy.
New Motor went well and just need to get used to its sensetive throttle n pickup, need to fill the tank to see if feedback from motor to fuel flow on plotter is correct and if correct i shall be one happy little vegymite .
Thanks Gang for good wishes weatherwise lol. Wash Boat n go look for one hellofa soft pillow to sit my ace on for the next few days:)..
