    First barra Proserpine

    G'day
    this week my wife and i went for a trip to the whitsundays for a week as you would know the wind blew 40 a.. holes i started to wonder if i dragged the boat 1200 ks for nothing . after 3 days of wind and rain we got out for a fish around pioneer point . had to stick close to the rocks it was windy and rough ,we were dragging lures around and got alot of little cod .
    in the little bay we were in , some mackerel showed up the mrs manged to land 1 don't know what sort of macherel it was
    so it went back .

    proserpine river
    got to the conway road boat ramp at 0930 and there was 6 boats waiting to get in the water it is a single lane ramp it was the same to get out but you had to wait in the middle of river because it is just a ramp through the mangroves . anyway back to fishing
    had a go with lures not a sniff , the Mrs spotted a guy get a barra on a live bait then i hear lets do that , i found a likely spot I'd never fished for barra before it was a big tree laying in the river . i told her to cast that way she didn't and she did the apposite she was a bit like a little kid wouldn't leave the bait out there . then know sooner the bait hit the water a barra was on she landed it , it went 61 cm quick photo and it went back the first barra had to go back . the next cast her bait got smashed again but nohook up she said that was bigger , she got some more hits after that still know hook ups , me not a sniff
    that's it for fishing

    put the boat back on the trailer i always look at trailer to make sure that the wheels and winch is still there ,
    we get back to the house to unhook the trailer and noticed the safety chain over the hand brake with the d shackle on the ute
    but my chain is a bit short and i use 3 shackles on my trailer and some monkey decided he needed them more then i did.
    THANKS MATE YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE

    Nice salty mate. Hopefully the long haul was worth it....maybe you should have put in at Faust and tackled one of the big metre plus beasties that call the place home.

    Lovely report and nice looking barra. I do hate reading about theft however. Gee there are some a_holes out there. Would never think someone would steal D shackles would you? I have one permenantly fitted to the tongue of my tow bar and it has been there for 5 years. Maybe I should check it is still there?
