First catch was a rotten roo within a few ks of home.

Met up with Steve at the western arm ramp and went to Ians Islandt where Steve got into them straight away.

he had 4 up before I even got a bite. The sizes were a bit small so we moved up to mouth of bass bay where we got quite a few in the low forties and high thirty's.

Also got around 5 tandans around the 50 mark. .

Had a few heavy showers and a bit of wind but quite fishable,

Thanks for the company Steve.

Cheers

Not much of a consolation prize but at least it hit low and it didn't go through the windscreen and land in your lap :ohmy: .

Your certainly keen giving it a go with the rain forecast and it was quite fishable. Well you just don't know unless you drag yourself out of bed to have a look.

Hope I have the same sort of motivation when I retire.

Thanks heaps for a great day on the water Ray

It rained on us a couple of times, but not for too long, nothing to cause any real bother.

I'm paying for that 03:30 start now though! :S

I tend to find the rain doesn't worry the fish all that much, they are already wet Its wind that keeps me in bed, dont worry about rain. :cheer:

Agreed.

Yeah, I operate by the principle 'regardless of season, weather, or terrain'. Mitigate against the conditions and change what you need to, but unless it's a cyclone, if I plan to go fishing I'm going fishing :cheer:

After all, most of us have stuff in our lives that limit our fishing opportunities, so you've simply gotta go when you can.

P.S. Bring on this rain! Still need another hundred or two mL to fill up the dams and flush the rivers!
