Newby report
Hey all, Newby to the forum so I thought I had better post something.
Got out through point peron over Easter, along with every boat owner in the south west by the way the carpark looked! on the water at a lazy 8am Monday, hangovers and as many Easter eggs as we could fit into the boat.
Got to the back of the 5 and anchored up setting the barley trail. After a few quick tussles with ray and his friends the skippy turned up followed by a couple of nice snapper which certainly was a good surprise.
As its a new boat we spent a few hours looking for new ground(or old spots that were lost due to the old mans "prowess" with saving them before selling and deleting gps with old boat...) found some nice ground and dragged a few lures through the bait schools breaking the surface to no avail.
All in all a good day, made better by getting a mate onto his first snapper ....which he claims came into his special burley of burley and 3am kebabs.
Cheers and tight lines
Pill put up a few pics when I figure it out!

Welcome luckydog
I'm probably considered a 'lurker' since my fishing trips in the last year i could count on my hand
also only LB, so have nothing to post. Since no one else has responded to your report I thought I'd better
It's a great site with a lot of local knowledge an expertise. Does at times seem to be an anomaly with only one resoponse to a post and 30 to others. Stay with us you'll enjoy it and learn a lot (or teach us)

When you get as far as you did with putting them on photobucket, put your mouse on the pic, a box appears, cursor on IMG code, copy and paste code here!

welcome to the site and good first report. i do like your mates comment about the 3am kebabs.
bloody dogs hey, had my pup chew a few expensive things too. and endless socks going missing,(not sure if its the 1 year old or the 5 year old tho)
one thing you have managed is to get the pics to photobucket, thats one step further than me.
