Hi Gang,

Kevin, Jim and I set off for Jew Shoal at approx 6.20am in perfect conditions (no wind, calm and warm) arriving about 6.50am. Things were quiet for an hour or so when I caught 2 snapper in reasonably rapid succession. Both were smallish but legitimate size. I can't remember the sequence but Kevin caught a sweetlip and then caught a big fish which he fought for about 10 - 20 minutes before it got away taking his jig much to his chagrin. After a lengthy lull we started to get some action with me catching a sweetlip and a wire netting cod (is that the correct name Kevin???). Jim caught 2 sweetlip also of smallish size but keepers and Kevin caught a number of undersize snapper.

It had been extremely calm all morning until the seabreeze came in around 11.00 - 11.30 am which steadily picked up. We decided to call it quits at 12.15pm and headed home with a lovelly tailwind and waves making for an easy paddle back.

No photos were taken as we didn't think the catch was worth it. Still it was a beautiful way to spend the morning.

Wednesday is looking good for the next fishing trip.

Cheers

Jaro
