Fun Cockburn Sound trip with a bad ending
Launched the boat from woodies point boat ramp last night (Friday night), a few mates with a few drinks, couple rods and a bag of mulies, intention was to see what was around and have a bit of fun...
Just got settled into fishing and one of my mates, no idea how, cast his rod out and then went ass up and into the water haha, mind you this was around 9pm at night, funny as hell, not much of a swimmer so he got a bit paranoid as he scrambled back onboard and ran into the front cabin and started strippin down to his undies thinkin he was gonna get hypothermia lol (been watching too much Bear Grylls). After a couple minutes of beggin us to take him home, he realised he wasnt going to get hypothermia and after a change of clothes he decided to stay out and keep fishing. All in all a great laugh, apart from the fact that he dropped the fishing rod in the water and now we were left with 1 rod between 3 fisherman, not fun when theres a school of tailor swimmin around ya.
So we hung around and took turns catching fish, ended up with a nice feed of snook and tailor, biggest tailor at 51cm and biggest snook at 75cm, enough for a satday arvo BBQ sesh NICE!
The bad ending: Just got back to the boat ramp just before 11pm, as I walk to my car I see my car is the only one left in the carpark right under the light, the parking space beside me was full off broken glass and I shuddered... Walked around to my car and sure enough, the driver side window was smashed in and the bastards raided the centre console and took a jar of change that had maybe $8 tops. The space 2 cars down from me also covered in glass, so they hit atleast 3 cars in one go.
So remember guys, dont leave any valuables in ur cars, nothing in sight or even in the main compartments. And don't drink and fish, u might fall overboard :P

Good for nothing Bastards
Yeah the worst part is the damage we have to pay for, they couldn't give 2 shits, smashed my window for $8, while I gotta fork out $180 just for a second hand replacement window. Bloody assholes with nothing better to do than to scavange thru their lives. If only I could get a hold of these pricks, give them a couple overnight stays in the hospital...
I was not too far out North from the actual Woodmans point, between the shell factory and the point. I went to the same spot a couple weeks back with no luck apart from a few herring. Last night was perfect amount of chop, not too rough, but enough to bring the tailor around.

well done on the feed .
well done on the feed . costly night tho, one rod in the drink and a smashed window for your troubles. i hear too many times about cars being broken into down there to park there even during the day , let alone at night

A friend of mine leaves his car unlocked with the window down
I dont like his chances with insurance though. That coogee strip is the worst. Ive watch them sit in the park watching and waiting. Its worth considering membership at the cockburn boat club

Yes the white VS was me
Yeah I wouldnt mind payin for parking if they were to install some cameras, more lights and have some sort fo security patrol...
I asked a few mates a while ago about becoming a member of next door but they said it was too hard and there was a waiting list. Ill look into it and see if I can become a member, defiantely worth paying for protection from those low life pieces of shit who like to smash windows for a couple of dollars

Thanks bod, I have PM'd Roberta, hopefully all goes well.
Think I might head out tonight for another fish sesh, those last tailor were so good, another decent catch will do me fine for the rest of the week, altho its not very choppy tonight so i dunno if they will be around.
