OK I am posting this in case anyone was wondering......

Headed out of Maloolabah at about 5am Sunday morning. Boat hadn't been in the water for a while, we had blown the cobwebs out in the passage a couple of weeks ago to get the motor sorted, made sure all the safety gear was up to date etc but hadn't checked fishfinder/GPS so when that was found to be on the blink it did not start the day with a positive. Headed out east to ..... well we didn't know cos no GPS.... It was much lumpier than we would have thought and the 5.25M was bumping along and we thought lets troll. Threw a couple of lures out the back and trolled em for about an hour.... not a touch. Saw some boats off in the distance so we motored over anchored up and dropped som stinky stuff over the side. I was using a 5inch SP Minnow. My mate got 1 little fella on squid (looked like a Moses Perch I think, he went back) but I didn't take much notice cos I was feeling a little worse for wear. Have never really been effected by sea sickness before but today was the day apparently. Anyway I tuffed it out till about 8am and we hadn't got anything so my mate said lets go back in. I didn't argue.

Was good to give the boat a bit of a run. Will get the GPS fixed and try again, this time I may take a tablet as well. Was along trip home I tell ya.

Yep, was some fun ride out all right. Glad you got onto some mate. Apparently he has "fiddled with some connections and soaked it in some WD40" and it has come good?

Yep was wondering...shame about the lack of fish (and the seasickness) Better luck next time!
