Pumiscestone Passage - mothers day special

[MrWobbygong]

Got away with the girls for the mothers day weekend.

Left Donnybrook boat ramp around 130pm on Saturday, boat packed to the gunnell , cruised over, set up camp.. 

Left the girls on the beach and dropped the pots in with some chicken frames, just on the edges of holes towards lime pocket. Pumped some yabbies to fish from mission pt campground. 

Got a few on the first soak, came back to camp to continue feeding the bream and Moses perch.

Second soak Got a couple more, had a flick and got a nice whiting and tested the trolling motor (it didn't fall off)

A mate that camped next to us caught a 53cm snapper and a 43cm whiting on yabbies while I was enjoying time with the fam. Some cracking fish for the passage.

The rest of the weekend was filled with camp oven lamb shoulder, toasted marshmallows and more crabs. Ended up with more than enough for myself, my mate, my mum and even the dog had a taste. 

Good trip. Keen to really give the trolling motor a workout soon.

Thanks for letting us know. Hard to beat a camping and fishing/crabbing trip with the family.

I'm taking it that your mate was somewhat surprised to get a 53cm snap ! As for an over 40 whiting - well, that's just showing off. haha

Lucky dog.

Yeah he was stoked, heard him from 1km away, then redlined his 2 stroke all the way back to show off (both times he caught a fish) and put them on ice.

all in all perfect weekend, the forecast for Sunday was up to 15mm and we maybe got 2mm..

Back to reality..
