Large swell this morning

Put the dinghy in this morning with the idea of fishing inside the FFB behind garden island, didn't count on a 3 meter swell that greeted me as I went under the GI bridge, tried to push into it, but gave up after a k or so, dropping off the back of the swell was no place in a dinghy, got some good dinghy surfing on the way back. Spent the following couple of hours towing lures around Cockburn Sound, plenty of marks coming up on the sounder, but nothing like the lures I had to offer. Chrome gold and pink were probably not a good choice in the overcast conditions.

 About 22.5 uncle, had a full compliment of BJ's jigs to work with too. Water clarity was ok.

Well I don't feel so bad now. Re rigged my rods with new knots, jigs and placcies, fuelled the boat up and marked some spots to try on Navionics yesterday. Alarm went off at 5am and thought nah stuff it and back to sleep I went. Had a feeling it was going to be a bit gnarley out there.
