Full Moon Snapper Bonanza 11th July

[outsiderskip]

::) ;D :D :)

We left Manly boat harbour at 3.30pm for a comfortable ride across the bay, once we rounded Rita's point conditions got sloppy, the bar was nice and flat.... Once we got across the bar we pounded our way out into a 15 knot north easter, we arrived a spot x around 5 had 6 attempts to anchor on fish but with wind and current fighting each other it was difficult. About 5.30 finally anchored on top of the fish and from then on we had a back breaking time... By 9.30 we had enough, the line were running up towards the anchor and we decided to pull the pin as we had a 15 knot north wester and the occasional 2 metre swell on the way home, showered and in bed by 1.30 am.... Few pics below

showered and in bed by 1.30am Pete, not 1.30pm ;D

Thanks for a great trip out. It was great, experience. It will be more enjoyable when I regain some reasonable movement back in my back, arms and shoulders! I am going to buy a 925C5 today too!

That first pic of the horizon gives the impression of calm seas. Looks are deceiving hey!
