A beautifull day out on the water guys.
Thanks for the lovely day.
I joined born2fish and mooneyz on the day with my dad and cousin in tow.
We struggled on the squid cause neither of my deckies knew what to do so it was me doing all the catching. And rig tying. Etc.
We ended up with 5 squid and about 7 keeper flathead.
Was good to see both makes of polyboats out in the bay together chasing each other around. And even better to see the 2 stroke 50hp didnt run out of fuel as we covered quite a bit of ground, and also managing to keep up with the 70hp 4 stroke.. my boat is a lot lighter and smaller.
I was absolutely knackered when i got back.
5am start from.home for 1.5hr drive then fishing and driving around till 3.30 or so and then washing up and driving home again. Ill have to get my deckies to drive next time i think.

I forgot to take pics of the loot. But heres a couple we took.
