Recommended Posts

First off Many thanks to Gus and Johny and all the sponsors another well run comp :)B) and congratts to all the winners and given the conditions well done all who braved the wind :woohoo:

Day 1

Well I think Rummy and myself would have to agree what a disaster :(

We decided that livies were the go BUT neither of us bought servo bait as confidence was high :)

Wrong :blink: We took my boat and straight away had steering probs again :angry: after a bit of bush mechanics we got that sorted and off we went :)

We easily managed the sloppy conditions complimenting our decision to take the bigger boat how wrong we were :S trying to hold close to the poo shoot was near on impossible in the wind :angry: we tried for over 2 hrs to get livies for nothin :angry: so day 1 was called a non event :(

A strange thing did happen when retrieving the boat as I drove on to the trailer it popped off the tow bar :angry: on closer inspection the hitch had been lifted to release (it was down when we left home ????) anyways

Day 2 We took Rummy's boat stink bait on board this time off in search of Livies again :silly:

We did get a few but not as many as we would have liked :( but lets see what happens anchored up @ a known Thready spot and deployed our livies

Rummy got first blood with a ray (tail cut off grr)

Then for one of the Highs Rummys son 3 yr old son Damon who comes out with us a fair bit B) is on with a bit of help from dad to get set up

he then went on to catch 3 scat and a tiny tailor :woohoo: :woohoo:

Well done young fella

I down sized a rod to see what was cleaning up our bait and scats were the culprit :angry::angry:

Bait was low the wind was high and even the scats buggered off so back to the ramp more bait and a feed of prawns and out we go again :woohoo: checked the crab pots but only a undersized buck and a big Gennie

As a Last ditched effort we hit a drop off we found and woohoo a nice little 42cm cod by yours truely

A big high for me was my 2nd place flatty :woohoo: but the definate low for me and I presume everyone was the bloody wind, if it wasn't for the BRC I wouldve been off the water after the first hour :angry: Another low was having to listen to my old man sulk about it every 10 minutes, its windy dad GET OVER IT! I do feel for him however, he didn't get a single fish in the boat all weekend :(
