Well I got back from Monduran after 5 Days hard fishin. Nothing much happening but there are some fish and it is on the improve. The weather is warming and with a bit of wind in the evening it is possible to get fish if you persist. I fished Friday, Saturday, Sunday morning with no joy and the same was reflected around the camp. One Seppo cross Aussie has been there for a month and got nothing! He caught a catty yesterday and claimed that broke his doughnut. I think that is debatable.
If you are heading there the temps are rising and the fish showing a little more interest. Hard bodies to sunset then plastics with big paddel tails after dark would be a good stratagie to start with on the wind blown banks
.
I went out with NAGG Sunday night because he gets scared up the back blocks in the dark by himself
.
Credit to Chris for putting us on the fish we had quite a few bumps and bites but only the one hook up 
WA HOO, I'M ON! set the hook, hold on, jump, NICE one, on hold, set again to be sure, jump clear out of the water! Like free bloody willy and nearly as big! 
A good fish!
But like free willy, Gone
She Spat the *Chartruze? Charetruse? Bloody GREEN! tailed Drop Bear . Still a memorable hook up
and the only one one for the trip 
.
I did fish the 'round about' the next night where Steve caught the big girl on sun set, then back to 'Nagg's point' for a couple of half hearted casts after dark. Then thinking 'It is bloody dark here, and still a ways to go back the ramp'
So I gave it away in favour of the camp fire, camp oven and beverages.
Yesterday I hit the water early and persisted around South B in an area that usually 'produces' some interest. Very quite, in a dream, thinking nothing doing, on the Bomber when just at the end of a retrieve I was about to lift out the lure at the boat when an ENORMOUSE BUCKET MOUTHED MONSTER EXPLODED out of the water beside the boat HOLY CRAP! NURSE!

NURSE! "Were gonna need a bigger boat!"
Be still my beating heart.
Be still my beating heart.
No hook up but that image is locked in with Big Willey jumping to freedom the earlier night.
No fish boated for the trip but fishin and meeting mates;
it sure beats going to work.
*Footnote:
For the other men out there Chartreuse is a colour. It is in fact luminous bloody green.
Fortunately I had a socialite 'Foxie' who new that. I wasn't convinced until a metrosexual Latte drinker of Sydney origin confirmed it. Thanks Nagg; who would have thought some poof would come up with a weird name for luminous green?

I don't count Catties
