Headed out Thursday morning for an overnighter to Lamont. beautiful conditions. Had a hit up at RCS on the way through. A lot of boats moving around and pretty quiet. had a drop at 2 and 6 penny shoals and still ptretty quiet with just a few Tuskies. Headed on to lamont and things pretty quiet and chat on the radio pretty much saying the same until just before dark.
Picked up a small trout and the odd tuskie and hussar and as soon as night fell we staerted to pick up the odd red throat a nice fingermark bream and the biggesr stripey I've ever seen and our bag limit on hussar. By about 0930 everthing went pretty quiet except for the odd hussar.
By two oclock the odd flash of lightning and rumble of thunder north of heron started to show. By 4 am the sky broke open and the lighning and thunder was just above us. By 6 am it had gone but by 7.30 the skies opened up again. This time for real.havent seen rain like that gor a long time.Even with a full length canopy the bige pump was continually starting to get rid of the water.It must have stirred up a few cobia as next thing the boat was surrounded by them and they were pretty hungry.
The trout that we went out to chase were pretty scarse but we still ended up with a good feed.
