Arrived shortly after 5:00 am at Fisherman Island boat ramp. Here we came across the first idiot of the day who was bogged on the ramp. :-? Well it was basically low tide and he dropped the trailer wheel off the end of the ramp. Can happen to anyone. We rigged the boat and while waiting our turn, the second idiot of the day drove strait past the que and stoped at the boat ramp to rig his boat. >:(
So we had to wait for idiot 2, to launch while idiot 1 and his mate in another 4x4 was trying desperately to free the bogged trailer. Finally it was our turn, while idiot 1 was breaking strap after strap. :o We managed to launch without any further incident, only to find the grass carpark was closed and I had to park my vehicle next to the rail line. :-/
It was a beautiful day on the water. Spotted some baitfish near the measured mile getting smashed by mackerels, got the TSS4 ready, positioned the boat and before I could manage the first cast, two boats came rushing in from the beacons, drove straight onto the school with lures flying everywhere. >:( >:( So the school disappeared thanks to my third encounter with a bunch of idiots.
Worked a few more schools,unfortunately without any success and went to Moreton for breakfast while we waited for high tide. 8-) Shortly before high tide we went to Curtain, got a good burley trail going and watched the kids keeping themselves occupied catching whiptails. The wifey got smashed by something big which cut her off on the wrecks, and then I caught my first fish in my own boat. :)
Wile hanging around at curtain, the peace was disturbed by another boat whose anchor got caught. While trying to dislodge the anchor the bloke ended up very close to a Haines Hunter. In an effort not to nudge the Haines the bloke to our amusement, somehow landed himself in the drink ;D and nudged the Haines :o. A bit of entertainment for the day.
Well not much was happening early afternoon and the wind was picking up. So up with the anchor. I was on anchor duty and it was my son’s turn to skip us home. While making my way around the cabin, my foot slipped and I ended up in the drink – IDIOT no 5. :-[ ;D ;D
It was truly a great day on the water.
Does anyone ID this fish for me please?
