Allnighter

Thanks @Old ScaleySteve, 
Just looking for a change and to restore work/lifestyle balance back to level the scales more evenly. So i will still have to find some work - hopefully minimal. Worked head down - ass up all my life and now I'm happy to sacrifice money for something more important, our most valuable asset as we age.... time. 😉
And yes mate, would love to catch up 👍

Hi Km, herring..... millions of them... and a few yakkas and small tailor too..... and thankyou 🙂

No thats just lack of sex 

I quit my job (finally)
When i read all your reports Brian, i finally decided when i grow up i want to be retired just like you 🙂
Hahahaaaaaa

I tossed and turned Sunday night and into Monday morning, i just couldnt sleep properly - probably the humidity lately. I havn't had a fish for awhile which had been bugging me and as i got out of bed at about 3am to take a leak i checked the wind out on the bay. With a 5 knot northerly and no work to go to Monday, and although i was still tired from little sleep, i thought "stuff it" and hooked the boat up for a dawn solo mission to Redland Bay. 
I gathered some fresh bait in pretty quick time from a regular bait patch at this time of year and sent them back down with an 8/0 circle in each one.
I know to expect vermin this time of year in the bay.... but holy snapping ducks, if anyone ever tries to tell me that the resident shark population is in trouble - i'll just burst out laughing and pee my pants. 
I reckon i had at least 20 bustoffs by sharks and not all widdle ones either. They are in plague proportions. Anyways i only managed one snapper at 65cm in amongst the grey army, but was good to get out there again and feed the sharks (should start a shark sight seeing charter lol ) and back in about 8am to escape the heat

Geez you're game retrieving line with bare hands like that @Old ScaleySteve 🫣.... one accidental wrap of line around one of your digits and you will have a nice fresh snapper bait 😜. 

Thanks Kat 🙂
But there's so many more bigger ones down there! 😁
