had a pretty eventfull trip this weekend to the abrohlis started of by running out of fuel 15 ks south of jurien at 5.00 am ,wasnt expecting such a head wind all the way and didnt leave on a full tank either so my own silly fault , any way sent the deckie for a hitch into jurien to get fuel only took an hour ,not to bad except had to buy 2x 5 ltr jerry cans @ $27 each plus the fuel spewing normally always carry a spare 20 l when i go away.Got to gero launched the boat pulling out harbour and 1 motor stall,s what! pull back into the jetty and checked a few things ,found a wet spark plug so changed that and the motor seemed fine ,so headed out again got to the first channel marker and the same motor starts shutting off then on very rappidly the gauges were going on and off as well so had to be electrical fault so back to the marina again. pulled every plug ,fuse and checked all the connections gave everything a spray with crc couldnt find anything obviuos so went for a run and seemed to be runninig fine ,headed out again just slowly to make sure everything was running fine ,all seemed good so of we went trip over was better than expected with the forcast that was given sat on 25 knots the whole way over. got to the lagoon and rigged all the rods and straight out for a fish ,went to a few marks ive fished before as it was 2.00 pm and didnt want to waste time looking around this late in the arvo but when i got there the sounder wasn't really lighting up as much as hoped and the fishing was hard ,still got some snapper ,baldies ,trout ,dhuies and red throats but nothing like normal .Went back to the lagoon around 4 and set up for the night ,Next morning woke up had some brecky then headed straight out ,the swell had picked up heaps over night and getting out of the lagoon was breathtaking to say the least with a 6m swell coming through there was a few zero gravity moments ,decide to fish inside of the islands to stay away from the swell so headed around the gun island a fished a few lumps around there did ok but nothing special ,sharks were everywhere so far every time we hooked a good fish it was getting sharked ,spent a lot of time moving around to get away from them ,found a mooring out that way for the night and threw a line over the side while i cooked up some trout for tea ,not much was hppening till josh and greg my deckies decide to put a piece of trout wing on there hooks then lets just say the next hour and half was the best night fishing sesion ive seen ,from 60cm tailor ,77cm spangled emporer ,82 cm dhuies ,80 cm pinkies ,we caught and released over a dozen pinkies and dhuies nothing under 70cm.N ext day swell was alot better so headed out the west side for a troll got a sharkie and a very small mack but not much was happening ,then paul g gave us a call that he was on his dhui hole so we so we headed over there , picked up few with paul    then headed for a bit more of a troll picked up a few little yft around some pots in 50m then had a free jumping sail fish jump 4 times 10m in front of the boat  , headed back to gun island again after that to have some tea and prepare for the night fish again ,well it turned on again as soon as it went dark with more snapper, dhuies, tailor  ,next morning was time to head home so a quick fish on a few lumps on the way home then back to the marina 11,00 quick catch up with rob h and paul again then a nice un event full trip home ,All in all a pretty good trip but was a bit slower than normal on the fishing front dont know if it was the new moon or the swell ,now for a few photos
