Scenic Day at Wello and Peel

[Poodroo]

G'day all, well some days the fish play and some days they don't. I guess I picked the wrong places to look for them this morning but I was treated to a pretty spectacular sunrise which made me think that there was no better place to be at 6am. After giving Wello a bit of a go and boating half the nursery and releasing them I decided to look for new ground and adventure out a bit once the chop flattened out a bit. At that moment I get a phone call from Aigutso (Mike) who let me know that he was also on the water in his new boat. It was decided to meet up at Peel Island for a bit of a social fish. Nice tinny Mike. I'm envious. We drifted over some structure and all I landed was a small grass sweetlip also returned. Eager to at least keep something for the table I said goodbye and headed back toward Wello. Managed a couple of legal squire for the table but they were nothing to brag about so no pictures were taken. Thought I would share the sunrise however and a pic of Mike and Bec in their pride and joy.

Regards,

Nice sunrise

My guess is that you had a puff of wind to make things a little choppy, but you chose the right part of the bay by the looks of things.

I was wondering.. What side of the boat did you fish

Wait for a report from T who went to DUM today.

Mike, that's a lot of freeboard with your tinny, looks a good rig mate!

Yep we had a great time out until Bec felt unwell, great catching up Poodroo, that tinnie flies mate. Got a couple of undersized squire, I think we where in the nursery.

Brian thanks mate, Im very happy with the new rig, today was more an 'explore' day around Coochie and Peel, checked out quite a few marks and put some hours on the Yammie. Be out next weekend for sure if good weather. Will have to try to devise a method of getting Bec up and about a bit earlier

cheers

Thanks Matt. I really enjoy myself out on the water regardless of whether I take home a feed or not. I still managed a feed so that was a bonus.

Did you take photos as well mate? I was glad to have remembered the camera for this trip.

It is a tiny tinny Brian. You sit in the middle and fish both sides.

Yep we had a great time out until Bec felt unwell, great catching up Poodroo, that tinnie flies mate.

Sorry Bec felt unwell. Mike it was fantastic to see you out there under your own steam. I can feel your excitement. Was great seeing you and Bec again. So you think my tinny flies huh? All I know is when I am powering on it feels like things are going by pretty quickly. Let me know when you want a deckie in your new rig.

Morning Poodroo,

Those sunrises are definitely one of the best reasons to go fishing aren't they?

There's not too much wrong with the world when you can sit back and enjoy one of those; fish are a bonus!!

Yep, great pictures alright...thanks for sharing
We (Paul and I) had to go to Peel twice yesterday...once to rescue our sister and her hubby who broke down on the northern side and needed a tow back to the ramp and once late in the afternoon just because it was a nice afternoon for a cruise in the big boat.

Coming back into Raby Bay was definitely a Kodak moment as well with not a breathe of breeze and all the lights coming on across the water. And us without a Kodak

Thanks Brent. I took a lot more than that one but that photo was my choice really. Glad everyone agrees.

That first photo is stunning. On ya, I wish I was there.

Thanks Mate. Amazingly I was one of only two boats on the water at that time. Wonder if the winter chills had anything to do with that?

Fantastic pics there mate!

Thanks. I am glad you think so.

I have to agree with you Synful. I would not get bored if I was retired. Imagine being able to spend more time on the water? That sounds great to me.

Nice pics poodroo!

Simon thanks for that. I'm glad you liked it.

You're welcome Scott. So how is it possible that one of the most organized people I know gets out on the water and doesn't have a camera handy? You just never know when a golden photo opportunity is going to present itself. I even had two digital cameras handy on this trip.

how good is that sunrise...

It was pretty spectacular. We so take this country for granted really. Amazing also is the quality in digital cameras now. It wasn't that many years ago where the technology in digital cameras made them not suitable for taking such shots. They have come a long way now I think.
Thanks all for your comments.
