With the weather average on Friday, we decided to head to Augusta to view the Lighthouse and the meeting of the Southern and Indian Oceans. Water was ferocious and the swells were huge. Water was a murky brown colour for 50m out from the beach from the construction of a new boat ramp

Saturday headed to Bunker Bay for a fish but the weed made it almost unfishable albeit having favourable winds. Managed to reel in 35000kg of weed and thats about it! Had an evening fish infront of where we were staying at Abbey Beach and caught a decent whiting and some tarwhine/ silver bream. The brownish water colour had faded to just a 1m strip along the beach which didn't seem to effect the fishing.

Sunday morning headed down the beach, nice and flat water, and caught a decent bag of whiting, ranging from probably 15-25cm. Would've been more but a bastard seagull enjoyed 80% of my squid bait for breakfast while I wasn't watching! The culprit is identified in the photo! All fish bar one were released well. Rig was just a 3 way swivel with a long shank and star sinker to hold in sand. Biat was squid strips. 

Was a good short break with a bit of exploring, fishing and relaxing.

Cheers
