Sunday on the water
Hi all well what a great day on the water not many fish about tho . Do not know about anyone else but was very hard to find a fish today even a wrasse *LOL* so no fishy pic but thought we would share abit of our day & with everyone. Went out in tandem with Sandy sister and family started late around 8 am after they forgot the keys to there boat *LOL* . then on the way out to the nintys to try out Russes new toy our boat just cuts out but started again this happened one more time before we decided not to go out to far( thinking it is dirty fuel) so we mainly only fished just over the five in about 30 mtrs to be on the safe side . It was so flat Sandy and her sister had a race in the boats ha ha as not much was happening on the fishing front except for a cuttle fish on our boat and a large squid and kg on theres. Tried a few places and at 3 pm decided to call it a day and race back in they were in the lead till ha ha they got pulled over by fisherys ending in a $160.00 fine ( see pic for details)so we won by default but won never the less *LOL* But a bad day on the water is far better than doing work on land at home.
Here are some pics of the day

Cutting out
No good with motor cutting in and out Russ.
Best to get that thoroughly sorted before you tow her all the way to Exmouth.

Great report Russ
And I like how you have captioned your pics.
There must be something about the fisheries and you guys lately.

sandy did all the work on
sandy did all the work on this one as usual (got to learn to do it on my own one day), dont know where she got the program from but she got it and i think it looks good, at least the fisheries are making their presence known and keeping us on our toes

Sunday fishin
Weather cond were great, myself and a mate headed out deep and managed 2 dhuies, 3 red snapper, 2 sweep, 4 skippy.
Kept one dhuie and one red snapper. glassed of nicely in the arvo. Stopped of on the bank on the way in to find sambos and tuna smashing a huge shoal of bait fish, we tryed with lures and bait but they wernt interested, great to watch though.
We were puting the tub on the trailer when fishieres were launching.
Fishing isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more serious than that!!!
FISH FOR THE FUTURE
