Pengiun Island tasty mixed bag

I went to Pengiun Island on Saturday with my mate on our hobies. Started fishing the sandbar for KG whiting. They were pretty much a catch-per-cast, but all undersize except one which went 33cm. Good fun anyway. Then went out deeper and burleyed up with floater rigs, got some fat herring and a couple of gardies. The gardies were EVERYWHERE, hundreds of them.. but just not biting. Also got a decent squid (on $2 cheapie jigs), and lost another couple.

Tried for tailor/salmon around the back with lures and muilies on gangs, to no avail. Anyway, went home with a tasty dinner.

Also.. while I was pedalling around the cable on my mirage drive just snapped. WTF? Has that happened to anyone else? I had to paddle like a commoner. I hope its not going to be too expensive to fix...
