Shell Beach last week

 Hi all, Got up to Shell Beach for the first week of the school holidays. Another great getaway as a family, and everyone getting the run around by nice sized Pinks. Had some more great weather for the 7 days, the mornings were a little fresh but by around 10:30/11 am the wind would drop away, making for gentleman hours fishing which suited me fine. I picked up the fish of the trip with a Pink that went 5.27kg but my young fella had me worried on the last day when he got a buck that was just shy of mine coming in at 5.18kg. Got a visit by Fisheries on the 2nd last day which would of been better at the start as I didn't realise that the wings don't count to our 5 kg possession limit. Lucky we had eaten a few while up there but unfortunately had thrown away a few aswell. Anyway here's a few pics.

 Hilly. The beach is really good for launching. There was a crew at the northern end of the beach launching 2x 6.5 metre platey's and never saw them have to hook a second car on.

Fishing at Tamala it is 5 kg of fillets per person, but the fisheries officer told me that the wings aren't counted in as part of the 5kg limit

Wings are classed as offal and dont count in your allowed fillet limit.

I like the cave on the east side

 wind has eroded the sandstone away so that a pillar supports the whole roof, or so it seems. Fantastic shapes eroded all over on the softer rocks.
