As far as I can tell, I'm two minutes ahead of you ....... 😝.

Get back in line🤣😂

Hope the string comes undone and it bites you on the finger.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where do you live?🤣🤣 .. expect another 10 for lunch.😂😂

Food is always more enjoyable when eaten with a companion Neil. As luck would have it I'm available tomorrow and would happily settle for one Qld lollypop and one crab sandwich ....... 🙃😁.

Just preparing tomorrow’s lunch menu .
Not sure whether to go  : 
2 x Qld lolly pops as a starter , followed by fresh crusty white bread crab sandwiches as the main .

Had another crack today. Again no bait. Similar result with a couple of nice dinner sized flatties. Interestingly, also caught 3 very small winter whiting on the troll. Snapper are back on the hit list tomorrow so heading out Thursday to see if they are hungry.

If possible, raise an edge in the front and also the back of the boat, that will let any breeze through and still keep the rain out. Any breeze going through should help with the problem of condensation not forming.

Keeping the underfloor area dry is very important. If everything is not completely dry before you cover the boat you will only seal in moisture by covering the boat.
Bungs out, boat drained, hatches open etc. Preferably dry well in the sun before covering. 
A mate of mine uses a small vent fan to maintain airflow.

I forgot that when I was last out fishing the boat didnt come onto the trailer quite right. I paid the price for it yesterday, I couldnt get the boat off the trailer. So while trying to shove it off, my hand slipped and I took a hunkout of my left thumb base,nek minit the light bulb in my head come on and I backed the trailer further into the water and floated the boat off.
Anyway on the fishing front, it was bedlam again,the bass were like indians, they kept circling the boat each time I pulled up.Managed over 50 again trolling and shrimp, before I could hear the lunch time bell all the way from my place. (yes I know need a new camera )

Worst part is I need an op on the right thumb but I keep injuring myself and they wont op if you have any open wounds. Maybe next year at the start of winter.

Good feed, Steve. I'd be up for a few sessions like that when I am back. I intend to do a lot of lure sessions Lucinda too.
No Plan B today.

I have been meaning to do a bait-free session for ages. I used to do this occasionally years ago, but since I retired I have spent more time fishing with other people and it has been mostly bait with token attempts at lure or plastics, or a combination. So, with @ellicat not being here to reinforce my lazy ways, and because it is still snapper closure, I decided today was the day.  
No sense making it too hard for myself so flathead was the target species. I also decided to go light (4 lb braid with 6lb fluoro) and only take the one outfit (Samaki Zing Extreme 1-3kg with a small 1000 size Twinpower). Launched at Port of Brisbane about 2 hours before low tide and hit up a bank where I have caught plenty of flatty on plastics in the past. Decided to have a troll but had no luck so moved to a different bank and had instant success, pulling in around 10 flathead but they were all around that just legal size so all released to do their thing with the breeding females who were no doubt close by. 
Changed to casting up onto the shallow banks as the tide started the run in. Got a few more and lost a couple of big girls close to the boat. Started wishing I had bought a slightly heavier outfit, but had a lot of fun anyway. I kept 2 for a feed, then changed to a Samaki vibe in deeper water as the tide got bigger. I could see lots of action on the sounder and pulled up a couple of decent snapper in the mid-40s which were released boatside.
Overall, a fun little session that has inspired me to do more bait-free sessions, but didn’t stop me pulling into Mr Bait on the way home to stock up for a snapper session next week. 

🤣 I am a little jealous of your lifestyle Brian 😜. I should have included more information in the report. It was a long day to gather them. It was interesting however that though the fishing was slow, only one whiting under 28cm was caught. There was very little in the way of vermin, just a few undersized bream and a couple of small Moses perch.
Looks like we will get to try again this weekend. It will be an overnighter Saturday night. Fingers crossed 🤞👍

Clever bugger probably has set up holiday pay and bonuses 😉

That’s a great feed of whiting - they are hard to beat on the plate.
 

7!? Yeah right 😹

7!? Yeah right 😹

7!? Yeah right 😹

Nice feed @Bretto77 and @Kat.  That flattie is a great eating size.

Looks like a great session Brett and Kat, nice work. 

Yay, the drought has broken !
That flattie looks like it was a bees appendage away from freedom. Lucky.
I'm a little jealous at the numbers and quality.

It's been some time since I have posted a report. Someone else initially claimed reporting rights and I subserviently agreed. 
A number of factors have contributed to the lack of report from my beloved @Kat. 
I find myself with no choice (and her permission), but to blurt before the memories become a little obscure amidst the stress of the daily grind, commitment to children and the unabating will to always love her forwards.
We ended up (by sheer unusual circumstance) with a Sunday that we were free to fish on our terms. So we did.
The tides were such that Kat's once beloved yabbies could be gathered at a convenient time. 
A suggestion of purchasing blood worms (as the very friendly and proficient provider was open from 0430hrs) was also thrown into the mix. Both options were employed.
Worms were purchased and the boat was launched. Yabbies we're pumped by myself and (begrudgingly) @Kat. Time to fish.
The fish were not exactly at the X's we had painted on the water surface last time we were there, but we got a few. 
Kat is laying claim to numbers, I maintain that quality trump's quantity 😜.
Kat did not use a single yabby until the worms were gone and we were heading home. It would appear that she has changed religions...
Here's a few pics.

Allright.... 8 then....😜

7!? Yeah right 😹

Brett is right.  As long as you haven't taken snapper during the closed season (where you would have to be caught at the ramp or on the water doing so - evidence wise), then you just can't have more than the posession limit at any one point in time. 
So for example Brett and I would be all good with 8 in freezer - none in Esky - so we are definitely safe.  Lol.
Eating frozen snapper as Sushimi might be a crime though 😹
