Seeing the forecast for today ahead of the southerly change and with my boat out of action as i'm in the middle of installing fuel flow and nmea 2000 .I rang a mates dad to see if he was going for a run ;) as it turned out he was doing a solo to the 35s so i bummed a ride;D
Left manly about 430 across a calm bay (hmmm hope its like this on the way home) through SPB on the last of the run out with 1m of easterly swell. get outside to a confused sea from the wind chop from the night before short n sharp with swell but no wind so started to punch our way to the 35,s by the time we got half way there it had glassed out.
With not much showing on the sounder after searching had a drop on a small patch of fish.mates dad boats a pp and squire before i can lose a bait. more searching and drifting seen throw backs squire and another pp in the box.With the plane to be back at the ramp by 12 ahead of the blow and the fishing slow we went back to our first drift line. Where i got a squire just as i put it in the box my other rod buckles over on a nice fish ...thats my one over 70 i say with a grin;D with a reply of its not in the net yet ...lol...snapper boated and measured at 71cm :P
had another 2 drifts there with no more takers and it being 10.30 now headed for home while the weather was still good got about 5km from the ramp when the southerly started blowing by the time we were at the ramp it was about 15 knt another hour and it would of been a long trip across the bay .
Cheers Mick
