    Hi all after getting up at sparrows fart saturday morning to go and dig worms until 6.30 am then go around all the boats yards in a 50 k radius yesterday morning looking for a new boat, my mate and i decided we would go fishing this morning in his boat up the passage arrived at the ramp 5am launched proceded to go out to main channel and it starts to rain not happy jan. we took 5 pots out and put them in glassy creek for th last of the run out and first of the run in then went for a fish.went to my ting spot i fish on the last of the run out anchored up started to drown a few worms had a big run and pulled in a 33cm grunter bream followed by 5 more all ranging in size from 33 to 43 cm by this time my mate is getting a bit peeved and finally hooks a nice 30 cm ting. the tide turned so went up stream a bit further and we landed another couple of nice tings then to much run in the ater by 10.30 so went back for the pots first 3 had none 4th had 3 fantail bucks all released 5th had a nice buck and another jenny ,jenny released and the buck found its way into the esky ,all in all a nice morning on the water wind about 15-20kn but sheltered behind the tree,s water still has a lot of fresh but very fishable, no photo's as i only had the phone
