Sunday Morning Yanchep Report
Five of us keen lads hit up Yanchep this morning for a bit of a bash at 4am. With moon up, sun up and high tide occurring around the same time, plus some blustery weather it looked like it was going to be a great morning to fish for some tailor.
My first and only bite was from a big lump of seaweed. My mate Simmo Ryan on the other hand, trying out his Nuclear Chicken Gulps caught seaweed just about every cast. The rip coming through the lagoon was simply too much for even our biggest sinkers and we could not hold bottom.
The other lads were the smart ones. Greg went for a kip in the back of the car, while Shawry and Nick caught some Z's on the beach (although I'm not sure how in the wind and rain).
The highlight of the morning was a chicken burger for breakfast from the Lagoon Kiosk. The lowlight was the girl behind the counter informing me her boyfriend caught five tailor in the lagoon last night - "this big" she says - with arms about seven meters apart.
It's funny, I started fishing mid June last year and my first trip out was with Simmo Ryan to the Lagoon. We got rained on and caught stuff all that day. My year of fishing really has finished up exactly how it started!
That is OFFICIALLY it until the baby arrives due in less than seven weeks (but what's the odds I convince the mrs to let me go one more time???)

One of the local retirees came down for a chat and told be about how he fishes the point everyday "but not today" ... guess that sort of says it all really! hahaha.
When you've got the bug, you've got the bug.
