Met up with Mike at Wello boat ramp at 3.50am for an early morning plastic assault of the Wello and surrounding areas.
Conditions were far from ideal with a breeze that got stronger all morning. >:( But this wasn't to deter us, and we persisted in our plan of attack. It paid off beautifully with a hot 2 hour session were fish were nearly every cast.
We ended up with a mixed bag of 1 flathead (62cm), 6 keeper squire (48cm biggest), 4 keeper sweetlip (40cm biggest) and approximately 40 or more throw backs!! :D

Well done Mate you got a good feed there in those lumpy conditions.
The old Wello always produces even on rough days.
That flattie is a ripper !!!
We were thinking about Wello on Sunday and decided the shelter of Macleay was easier on the body..lol
Cheers Brent ;)

Nice catch Darryl. I pulled the pin on my trip after looking out the window ... glad to see you were rewarded for being brave (or silly! :P).
Well done champ,

Yeah, we didnt think it was silly till we were bobbing around in the swell, getting rained on, with no boats around at all....except the sailing fleet with the spinnakers set :o.......thats when we thought we might call it quits ::)....and the 3.5klm run home took just over an hour :-/
