went to straddie for a week of camping with the family.had a great xmas lunch with the usual pig on the spit with prawns and the usual side dishes to go with it.had a bit of a fish after lunch with a couple of summer whiting being caught around the 35cm mark.boxing day with the light winds and rain i went out to the rous and got a good feed of diver whiting in an hr or so,we used the frames for bait that nite for a few shovelies and some big stingrays..bit of fun for the kids.

the rest of the week was spent fishing the high tides around camp with some great summer whiting most around 35cm but we got a few 40cm models also..we got a few good flatties the biggest was 68 cm but most where around the 50cm mark.most nites we fished for shovelies and we got on average 6 a nite for a few hrs biggest was 1.7mtrs but the average was 1.2mtrs.all caught and released.all and all with the light rain and wind it was still an enjoyable relaxing holiday.
happy new year to all

cheers rosco

How was the water was it dirty like a creek as it was like that all the way to Dunich last week. Amity is closer to the bar so i hope it wasnt all that way. Good to see the kids arms stretched on something with this weather. Did u see any pelagics running up the rainbow while u were there as there is a lot of bait fish around. Cheers DD

the water was good for the run in tide but bout 1.5hr into the run out it went chocolate color .only seen a few small schools of bait fish busting up but not much happining there really.coming back yesterday the fresh was nearly as far across the bay as the artificial..heard of a few good squirey snapps coming from behind the shop along the rock wall...
