    How Dumb I am at times

    Another trip to the Passge at Caloundra yesterday Arvo. The weed madethe place almost unfishable but I thought I would wait until after dark and the turn of the tide and see what happens.
    Upon dusk I put the all round light in place..tested it..ok.
    Once it got dark i switched on the LED light I have inside the gunwhale..nothing..no light. Hmmmmmmmmmm, thinks me..must be a blown fuse. I get the knife and shove in the side of the holder to pop the fuse out..fuse is good..I then look. Bloody idiot me had broken the side ofthe fuse holder..well done.
    A little later I notice the all round is flickering a bit..something does not seem right here. I lift the battery cover lid..oh YOU STUPID MORON, I call myself. got the lead on A about T...I swap them over..the all round works fine..I push the fuse back in the holder..led light works fine. Sheesh..I do some dumb things at times.

    Meanwhile, whilst this was happening..not a bite..just lots of weed.
    I only ended up with one legal fish.
    BUT..another trip done and dusted..gotta take the good with bad.

    Oh, I did have some words to some young goose that was buggering around with rollers on someone's trailer..gave him a gobful and told him to knick off (worse but cannot put that on here)..left a note on the windscreen of the car for the owner to check all his rollers before putting his boat back on.

    Thanks for another report old mate !
    Caloundra looks to be a dead loss this Bream Season, had a mate from work fish the area Saturday night. 20 fish from 13 anglers...........all weed and no fish !

    Hit the Pin Saturday night, got 20 odd up to 36cm. No good along the mud ledge, all from the shallows. The action was a little slower than previous trips but still a fun night (bottle of rum and a radio to sing along too kept us amused !!).

    might have to have another go on the New moon, say Sat the 30th ? big tides again, fish the shallows!

    Cheers
    Craigie.

    Hi Mate,

    Was that the diamond head ramp down near Bells?

    The Bribie ABT Bream comp was won at Caloundra on the weekend. Amongst a field of 34 boats only a couple of anglers lucked onto schools of spawning bream on the flats and channels near the Caloundra bar. They scored big numbers and quality bags of over 3kg.

    Apart from two anglers who fished Caloundra, the rest of the top ten all fished Scarborough.

    Lots of weed all through the passage. I fished the Ningi Ck flats for a few fish, but numbers of fish on the flats was way down on previous trips.

    Baitfishing with all that snot weed would drive you mad.

    I would have kicked his arse for fiddling around the trailer.We put a lot of money into our boats for some goose to go shopping and cause us grief.Well done for moving him on
