amanda and i got up at 2:30 am had a quick shower,hooked up the boat and we were off,we dropped in at colmslie at around 4:30 am and headed out to the river mouth,we flicked some plastics around the river mouth for about 15-20 mins but had no luck,we then met MICHAELG from this forum and his mate in his bright green 4.1 poly,michael dropped his pots near mud and then said he was heading to the 4 beacons but i decided to stay around mud incase the weather blew up,i asked him where the reef was around mud as this was the first time amanda and i had fished there in my boat,he told me where to find reef and off he went,i cruised around for a while and found some reef on the sounder that looked decent,so we killed the engine and out went the sp's,a few casts later and amanda was onto something it wasnt huge but she was happy to boat her first squire on sp,it measured in at 29 cm and went back to grow bigger,i then decided to change my plastic to a pumpkinseed colour as thats what amanda was using,a fair few casts later and i finally got a small squire which i didnt even measure cos it was so small,apart from that amanda got a small grass sweetlip (ID NEEDED ON THAT) and we both got a grinner,after that it went quiet and just as we were leaving we met another ausfish member called "wags on the water",on the run back into the river i almost shit myself when a tug boat going full steam put out a massive wake around 2-3 metres high and my poly got chucked around a bit,anyway it was good to get out for a fish and the weather was great,just a shame the esky was empty.
cheers tim
