G'day yakkers

As it has been the last week or so at the close-in reefs, fishing was very slow today. Wonderful launch and recovery situation at Sunshine today however, and the early morning NW breeze dropped out by about 0800.


(Above) Ready to roll!! But neither of us did!

I did get a nice snapper before 0800, and at a piece of reef in 23metres detected with my new sonar only 1.5km from the beach.


Both Jaro and I tried hard, but could not improve the catch. And don't worry, Harv, this fish was not bigger than yours, but it put up a fine performance. Many other boats out there, but none were seen by us to catch anything at all.

The return to the beach was beautifully timed by Jaro who stayed dry and picked the gap between sets.

Wednesday's looking good, and possibly also Thursday. Over to you Jaro for coord, and thanks for coming today -- it was fun even though the fish were scarce.
