Well, my skills have been getting rusty lately! the home patch hasnt been fished in over a month :o with much anticipation and expectation after looking at the forecast myself, hamza and ben headed out. smooth sailing till we made the bar and into the washing machine we proceed, amity side had shallowed up and was breaking everywhere, a good day for a surf LOL, I norm dont make a point of bar crossing but let me say that bar is in a dangerous state at the moment.
Finally clear of the waves, found a few baits then off to some wide ground...we hit some perlies but a lot were undersize, then the wind picked up, so much for .8m my call at up to 1.5. hard fishn weather but we were on the board with a few decent fish by mid morn.. 8) #it was time to get the berley stream going ;D Ben and Hamza, the mix masters lmao ;) the catch rate went downhill a bit with some reduced fishn effort, berley is overrated :P the fishn dropped off as the tide peeked and although sticking it out for a good while after that little come of it, we just didnt dong them like usual. end tally 8 perlies, 1 barr cod, 3 piggys, a parrot 2 rosy jobfish and a #squire, a baby whale played around the boat for about an hour, quiet a spectacle, better luck next time fellas. lets vote to sack the forecaster ::)
