I always log on, Mike, except when I forget

should be a good day.... maybe a little over cast would be good to get away from the bite of the sun.

The weather was pretty well as predicted.

Fished the area east of Goat for some squire, tarwhine and whiting. Moved about up to Lazzerette Gutter for a cod and parrot, and then back to Horseshoe Bay for lunch and a swim etc.

Over to Dunwich, but no ice cream van...... then back to the Platypus Wreck for a Moses. Moved once more to my Sweetie spot but only managed a Maori Cod.

Wind picked up at about 3pm so we headed back to Raby Bay.

With the cloud cover and a gentle breeze, it was a top day.

The kids out fished the adults, as usual.

The damage was done by live beach worms.

A big thanks to thedeckies wife, Liz , for the food and drinkies.

Also good to catch up to Marlin_Mike who was on duty at VMR455.

They arent consistent even up here phil,there one day gone the next. a lot of the boys are doing 60 miles for zip. Not sure whats going on.on the upside there are still a lot of little blacks getting caucht in a couple metres of water.

[Lucky_Phill]

Yep, I remember doing that a couple of years back. Drove from Urangan to Roonies and half way back before we found them. They were chewin at 9am. So we left at gentlemans hours the next day and found them just nth of Wathumba at 9 am again.

Yea,
i used to fish for them,a lot,Without doubt the best weather was he we had light to moderate S/E for a week b we fished.It brings the bait abd them right into the lee of the island.These constant northerlies push them way out into the by fracturing the bait and schools. there are still fish there just harder to find.
chewy..
