We were up there at the same time. Got out five times in two weeks which is awesome by me. Got plenty of fish (mostly in the bay) but a couple of trips out wider. One to the Eight Fathom Ground (two nice trout there, amongst others) and one overnighter to the blocks off Lamont. The sharks WERE brutal everywhere. Got in five Reds at Lamont, all between 50 and 53cms! Son of %#$&*!! All obviously went back. My highpoint was a 4.5kg grassy sweetlip but also got three good trout.
When the wind came in, the pots went out. 29 good legal mudcrabs in four days. Ate soooooooooooooo many!
Anyway, only back for a day, out to offshore Fraser on a mate's liveaboard for four days tomorrow. More to follow.....
