I was dubious about going this morning but as today was the only day that Daz was available and he had not been fishing for 3 months we decided to give it a go with the plan being if it was too windy we would head upstream and try to find a sheltered spot where we could tie up to a tree.
The wind was only a gentle breeze when we launched so we went downstream and did the shrimp traps.
By the time we reached Andrews drop the wind had got up a bit and we only found average sized bass just over 30cm and the i pilot was working hard to stay on the edge of the drop off  so we decided to get in the lee of the island and see what we could find.
We found a school of good sized fish and they moved on when the counter reached around 70 bass.
We then decided to move again and tried over near the hard hat and found another school in 60 feet of water with the fish holding between 15 and 20 feet.
We ran out of bait with the counter reading 126 fish being 125 bass and one yella.
Don had the " pleasure " of catching the only forky of the day.
It was good to get some trophy sized fish again.
Cheers
