20 Whiting and 1 Gummy

Had to pick up missus after work, thought I'd stop by port melb for a quick flick for an hour or so 4:30pm-5:30pm. Didn't even bother checking tide etc. A lot of people as expected.

The Chinese are building an island/military base in ppb

Wouldn't be surprised if Dan approved it.

Part of China's One Belt One Road strategy.

So does this mean that landbased fishos will get access to deeper water off Werribee once the island is finished
