well i finally got the new boat finished, big thanks to paul at albany fiberglass for the new floor.
went to two peeps on saturday morning with colin (dreamweaver)to have a look around and set upthe new sounder (hds5)
the beach launch resembled an episode of keystone kops so we were soaking wet by the time we got going.
with no waypoints to go on and not much experience at the bay we headed out.

was having cavitation issues on the way out so couldnt trim the motor and get over the chop so we just aimed for somewhere sheltered.(motor needs dropping a bit)
found some nice broken ground around what the chart called mermaid point and set up for a drift.
first drop scored a nice queenie,followed by a harlie, was rapped.
next drift another 2 queenies and a nannygai
another spot produced a harlie that went about 58
next spot produced a horse of a queenie that went hard and hit the tape at about 84
the retrieve went much better with no issues
all in all a ripper morning on the new tub
I would have included photos of colins fish but i think thats best left for him to comment :-)
