Fishless

Went to Hinze western arm for the first time since February as I wanted to tag some fish for a change it has really been getting to me not being able to tag bass at NPD so a change of venue was called for. It was a bit breezy and cool but we managed to find a bit of shelter in the bays and also in the trees on Ians Island .As soon a we pulled up on Ians island the resident hum appeared. I caught a bass that was bleeding so I donged it on the head and Ernie promptly swooped on it and carried it off to a tall tree for his breakfast. Finished up with around 75 bass. Photo of smallest bass instead of longest for a change. Rick and Joy caught most of the fish as they were sitting in close to the trees and they were sitting in the bow I suppose I should have tied the stern to the trees😀 Cheers Ray  

Pretty good day by myself with 40 odd bass and 3 yellas. Good to see fad no1 still producing fish with 3 yellas and 4 bass. Did not have a chance to have a cuppa or breakfast till 10am as I was too busy pulling in fish
Not many redclaw as being by myself I could only pull 4 pots.
Had a bit of a problem with the redclaw as mates were either out or were not able to come and pick them up. Ty ended up driving over from Inala at 7pm to collect them
Cheers

Went to NPD this morning in less than ideal conditions but Mark and Gerard are sailing to the Philippians  on wednesday so this would have been the last chance to fish together for a while. The newly installed fads are starting to produce a few fish. We boated 8 bass including a 48cm bass from the fads opposite the fig tree. Here is a vidio that Tai made. Cheers Ray
