Exmouth Saturday 30th April
The wife and I arrived in Exmouth last Thursday after an uneventful drive towing the boat from Perth. I guess that's how you want them though. We split the trip over two days and stayed at the Overlander Roadhouse on the Wednesday night. We have stayed there on previous trips and found the meals and accommodation basic but OK. On this occasion though we left feeling a little ripped off. Steakburger with the lot (which was not a lot) $15.95, no chips.
Anyway we ventured out yesterday for our first fish. Headed to some ground west of the Murions and got onto a few. Trout went 73cms and 6.5kg and the Rankin 75cms and 7kgs. Lost a few good fish to the grey coats as well. It was a bit joggly on the way in and swmbo injured her back which will certainly impact on the fishing activites over the next two weeks we are here. More later.

Nice fish
There are no flies on the Overlander are there! I prefer to drive straight past it.

Hi Tim
I've got a Markham Dominator with a pair of 135 Hondas on the back. The boat layout is a one off and different from the std Markhams. We are renting a house at 2 Gooley St. If you or any other FWers are in the area pop in and say hi.

Nice
A great start for you. Enjoy your time up there.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Doh, missed you (was going to ask about dropping off Lucky Tim's fins for him).
Great fish to open the account Alan. Sorry, to hear about the boss's back injury..not what you want on a holiday.
Cheers Pete

You look a little wind blown in that fish pic Alan, nice trout though. Wish this wind would disappear for a few days. :(
