Beginners Luck in the Sound
Long time reader - first report. Dad's picked up a new Trailcraft this week and we headed out to Cockburn Sound on Saturday morning - our first time back into boating for about 15 years.
Tried at the D9 from about 7am for a couple of hours, saw a few others have some luck but none for us. We moved on to some more shallow water looking for smaller fish and struck gold with my missus bringing up a king george whiting as soon as her line hit the water. We fished on to pull up 5 KGs - just over size 29-31cm but still a pleasant surprise for us newbies! The herring came on the bite and we pulled up about a dozen and a half. We headed back to the D9 to finish up but again no luck. Went home and had a great meal for the family! Only problem now is the wait to next weekend.
