15 March Wilbinga Report
Hey guys,
Went out this morning to Wilbinga with Sherbs and a few others. Morning started off slow with the balloons out and running out of helium, but as the wind picked up we managed to get them out.
LOTS of rays around, hooking onto about 7 and loosing most at the surf. At about 8.40 Sherbz's balloon went off with big splashes and jumping with flashes of silver we thought it could have been another mackie...turned out to be a dirty old bronzie. Didnt bother taking pics of it tho.
I had to head off coz i had a date so left at about 10.30 and Sherbs stayed on to fish. i got home at 12 and getting ready to go out and i got a call from sherbs saying he was bogged!
Turned out that half the car was in the surf, and all the wheels at least half burried in the sand. Photo doesnt do it justice :P
So i had to stand up the date and go buy a kangaroo jack and borrow some wooden planks to help get him out! Finally got home about 5...im sure he would have been in trouble with the missus for getting home late!!
All in all a very eventful day!

getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.

Yeah was coming high tide.
Yeah was coming high tide. Looked like just went through a really soft patch and the bank was at a big angle so just keep sliding down towards the water. Every time they tried to dig it out the wave came and filled it back up

Crazy old bastard, never a dull moment, looks like great water conditions to be bogged. Michael I am sure herbie would always return that favour(not that he has many dates)

brave
you would have to be extemely brave or just plain stupid to travel that close to the ocean at the binga we all know how soft that sand can get. lucky escape hey. I think we all like the illusive fishing spots but they arent worth loosing the trusty fourby for.
