So i have been trying for a couple of days to post a report, with the wind up etc, however have been having some technical computer issues. Thanks to Dids these have been resolved and i can now post.
So have been poking around the estuary, and did i recon a couple weeks ago and found a few fish, salmon and the like, and a few small grunter so with a light southerly forecast and lots of aeroguard on board we set off before dawn. The run down was good, first bit of bank a bit quiet then i got a couple of grunter on the grubz. Pete got a nice one, then i jumped off a nice little giant herring close to the boat. I have a pretty strong stomach but i have to say that i hooked a grunter in the nostril and it was one of the worst things i have seen on a boat. Blood pouring out its nose in big red streams nearly did me in.
Pete then proceeded a red hot run, punching plenty into the esky and was releasing 55 plus grunter one after the other. I did a swell job of driving the electric for a while. We nabbed another couple, saw a nice shark doodling up the creek, and got a couple of good tarpon as bycatch.
We were back at home by 9;30 with a feed of fish to clean. Plenty of jet skis out and about and lots of trailers at the ramp. Good to see a few fish getting about, but prawn season is looking dire up here...Again.
What happens in the straights stays in the straights....
