Took the family over from Wed to today, but snuck over myself last Sunday trying to fend off the flu.
Sun arvo was pretty quiet just sussing out the beach. Picked up my fishing bag and found it a bit wiffy from my previous trip ::) and the scent sufficient to raise a half dozen worms for bait ;D . 2 reasonable dart from 6 casts before some friends rolled up and I gave them the 2 as they had caught nada and were going home Mon. Spotted a big school of tailor heading toward GND but there wasn't a clear area where they would come into a gutter so wandered off south of the causeway for a peek before returning to GND for a few quick casts on dusk for no result.
Mon arvo finally got up enough energy for a quick dusk session, snared a couple of dart early, then 3 decent tailor before the bream bites started on dark which was enough to have me packing up.
Tues, Wed, Thurs were spent coughing and playing taxi driver for the munchkins and wifey.
Fri morning hit the beach to get some pippis and from a dozen casts only hooked one solid dart which I dropped half way in.
Friday night had a bit of energy after sleeping from lunch to dinner and wandered off down to main on my own about 9pm. Bagged out on tailor before 1am keeping 8 for myself and dropping the rest into some friends who were doing much better in the drinking than the fishing stakes.
Crashed again Sat, home early this morning. Absolutely beautiful weather for the entire week, with the local wildlife putting on their usual shows and the whales keeping wifey and the boys happy with their antics.
