Boating-from South to North

After having the boat racked in freo for the past 10 years, a few weeks ago I decided to move the boat closer to home and into a floating pen in Hillary's marina. Having accumulated my life's fishing spots all out of Freo, I was a little hesitant starting from scratch further North, but also excited by the fresh start in exploring new ground out from Hillary's. Two weeks in, both Hillary's trips have produced very fruitful results. The most notable difference has been the abundance of red throat's I have stumbled upon out from Hillary's in both isolated trips ... as I have never managed to catch one out from freo before.

Anyhow, attached pic (hope it uploads) of last Saturdays quick morning Hillary's run ... using my new Madfish Soft Esky that I was keen to baptise. Must say, it's a hell of a lot lighter to carry than my equivalent plastic esky!

Cheers - J
