Thought I'd chuck up my first report. Hit the beach nice and early with the old man, no-one else about for the first hour and a half. Nice and tranquil. Fair bit of weed about but turned out to be fishable. Glad we hung around, had a ball.

Got my first tailor off a metro beach after quite a few attempts. Measured at 35 cm, not big by any stretch but was stoke to get it first up. Fought pretty strongly for something that had hooked itself in the eye!

Threw back about five or six undersize tailor, some smaller herring, a small tarwhine and what I thought was a trumpeter, which happened to be buried in about a tonne of kelp when it got pulled in and lost a few good size fish that didn't care to hang around. Saw some weird eel looking thing lazily hanging around in the seaweed just where the waves broke and then the reel on my 14 ft surf rod carked it, refusing to re-spool properly (is pretty old). All in all an eventful morning.

Gonna hit north Mullalloo next time for something different, after all the herring there last visit.
