in that group were Gazza , Serge ,Hayds and steve . Lucky Jack was out and about as well I think in a group of his own
Anyway mitch bruce and myself headed down to the bluff first up and straight up with his first line in the water Bj had a gumbo around that 1.1 meter pan size fish . That was it apart from a Mitchs toad fish and I lost some baits probably to toads so a move was in order
we then headed of to Palmers channel near the red clifts where my average was not improving but Mitch learnt not to bring a knife to a gun fight - he hooked up to something on a bream rod that was a little hard to argue with only having 4lb braid on ( a note to others that may fish the area most things you hook around JJ/LL dont stop to well on light gear )
anyway the fish won and the line broke
we saw Bj with a ray flapping around the side of his yak and Mitch also had fun with a small eagle ray
I was still batting hard but still not worrying the scorers
the wind became a bit of a pain with a northerly springing up it was ok while the tide was going out but when the tide changed we had wind against tide . it was safe enough but a bugger to anchor in
the wind got up a bit more , still from the north and we headed over to the beach on FI for a while untill the wind died off a bit
then a paddle back across the bay where we met up with the rest of the gang near the bluff
I finaly got a fish a nice pan sized meter long gummy
about 2 pm maybe a bit later we headed back a few of us headed to the cleaning table I showed the guys how I skin and fillet my gummies
not a bad day out ,the wind wouldn't play the game but most of us caught gummies
My days work above
