With the reef closures looming, we braved the 25knot Southeasterlies and the infamous NQ chop and headed out the Sunday afternoon before the closures came into effect. #$%@^We only put in at 3.00p.m. after closing the shop and we pulled off the water just after dark. #$%@^Didn't bag out but got together a nice load of fillets for the guys to take home with the wind affecting all the fishing up here, offshore and inshore.

10 points for braving that wind. How long did that action last for?
