 Thanks mate. We ended up doing good. Came home with 15 which is plenty for our family and to give a couple to mum and dad. Could have bagged if we stayed longer but was enough for us. Sooo many boats on the water. Had to laugh at all the lines getting intersected etc. by the time we left if was just annoying lol! So went and got the kids an icecream I stead.
