    Townsville - fishing anybody?

    Has anybody been out of TSV in the last month? The weatherman can't seem to program it right for my days off. Is their any hope soon?
    Any fishing is good fishing (should probably say Any fishing is...probably going to be illegal soon)

    We slipped out early on ANZAC day.

    We headed out to a little wreck near West Point but the water was very dirty. A quick blast over to some rocks and it was the same. It started to rain and the wind picked up and turned the area pretty nasty.

    Lucky for us the Hooker cruised back through the rough stuff at 24 knots. We passed a 17foot tinnie bashing his way back from Middle Reef. It looked like hard going in a tinnie.

    The purpose of the trip was to test the sounder. Still not right, bloody thing.

    So if we decipher that code, Would that mean you went over near Cape Cleveland, and saw a tinny having a hard time coming from Salamander Reef ? #

    Apparently the Jungle Perch are going off over that way #

    Haven't had a chance to take my boat out. Only a 14ft tinny. Wanna take her out to maggie a bit more often, if this weather will ever improve. Used to fish the inshore islands a lot around cairns, but can't seem to get a day nice enough down here.

    I snuck out last Tuesday and mooched around the bombies at Balgal. Caught a heap of almost legal gold spots and a couple of sweetlip which went back in as they were on the limit. Trolled for a couple of strikes but nothing boated.

    The boys and girls from The Landing (Dicky and friends) spent Tues-Wed nights on Havanah and brought back some nice Trout. Then it blew up as usual.

    Wreck near Westpoint? Heard of it but never found it. Couldn't see it on the sounder when went looking for it but I was only told "there's a small wreck over there if you can find it" assumed it was probably only rubble by now and gave it a miss. Haven't tried again since.
