Gero Arvo Dive
What a arvo session - Went out for a dive this arvo with Spooled and a mate locally. Weather was fantastic and the visibility not to bad..... Started off snaring a few crays with todd in 10m while waiting for spooled to finish work then moved out around the lighthouse.... proved fruitless as abit of groundswell had really stirred things up.... Back around and out off the cray factory we headed.... jumped in and shot a nice little dhu straight up - todd followed suit and nailed its twin 10mins later!
the 3 of us checked a few nocks and crannys and managed a couple more crays before moving on.... this time first drop seen me bump into a healthy trout in 9m - back to the boat swap the snare for the gun and after a few drops added him to the esky! Starting to look extremely healthy by now...
Ended up moving once more to bag a few more crays and finish the day off...... Highlight for me tho was bumping into a school of boarfish! never heard of or seen them here in gero - not overly huge but shot one and so glad i did - the fillets look fantastic.... Turns out it was a YellowSpotted Boarfish judgin thru all the fish book and google pictures....
Ended up idling back to the ramp enjoying a icey cold beer at 5knots over a glassy ocean...
12 crays 2 dhuies 1 trout and a boarfish = pretty decent afternoons work out from gero (not more then 5mins from the ramp)
fantastic

Boar
Good decision by the sounds of it pod to shoot the boar. I hope they nestle in on that spot and call it home for a while if they are good on the chew. Yes a nice healthy esky as you say only 5 minutes from the ramp. Catchya soon in ya pink. Breast Cancer cricket day for the gero boys today. Fingers crossed those angry thunderstorms hold off.

Top Session
Doesn't sound like you're working too hard for your catches of late. Bad days really make you appreciate the good days.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
