The Almanac, results may vary.
Was keeping a close eye on Seabreeze during the recent weekend and it looked like Tuesday was going to be the go for a fish before the ban takes place. It then quickly changed to Wednesday (today) as being the day to go out for a fish and some text messages to Fishntime to arrange the times. I had my doubts as the Almanac said that the day was not a good one for fishing. I managed to wrangle a day off work by changing my RDO around at work and all it meant was making sure that I got up at 4:20am to go for a fish. A quick trip past the servo to fuel up the boat and then past to pick up Fishntime and we were off to Woodies Point. We launched and the sun was poking its head up over the horizon with a light Easterly (I think, too bloody early) and a relatively flat ocean. Shot out to 37m where we picked up a nice KG Whiting, a sized black arse which went back as 32cm still seems small when you look see the fish and a small dhu fish. Not much happening out there so we came back in to the Five in search of some Pinkies. No idea where to start so we went over to a spot I dive with mates for crayfish and dhuies in 20m. First drift with not much action. Second drift and it was on. They weren't wrasse bites, they were solid tugs each time a fish hit the bait. I pulled up two dhu fish on seperate drifts that were sized and a couple of small ones were brought to the boat and released and many more that didn't leave the bottom. Then on another drift Allen hooks up to a big one. He gets it to the side of the boat and we could see early on that it was a big one. We net it and it was a very solid, fat one and it was about the 10kg mark. As we already had two on board, it had to go back. Whilst it was on the deck, it was regurgitating up whole baby mullies and it stunk. The fish were hot for about 20 minutes and then nothing again. A couple of more drifts and the call was made. Headed back in with no wind and dead flat. Ended up pulling up 6 dhu fish, 3 sized black arse (all went back), tarwhine, skippy and a leather jacket. Allan can update the post if I left anything out.
Ps. Sorry Allan we had to return your monster. And appologies for the photos being 90 degrees out.

Did well on the dhuies for the FFB. Never had a heap of luck with them there myself!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

i've got a fishing almanac on
i've got a fishing almanac on my watch that says today is not a bad day at all.
between 6 and 7 am and again around 1 pm it suggests bite times.
funny how its out to our almanac book , but you set the watch to gmt + and enter our longitude.
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.
