Today's Effort
Submitted by chris raff on Wed, 2014-09-24 20:06
Hit the water with my mate Duges from woodies around 4.30am , decided to head out beyond the islands . Parked up until just past sunrise scored and released a couple of snaps in there mid 40’s , so decided to head out further and try a few marks for nada besides some smaller model dhu’s that released well . Things were looking grim and the esky was empty and it was around 1.30pm , Then whilst just cruising between spots we come across the mother load and within half an hour we had our bag of snaps and it was time for a beer .

It was quite a bit more
It was quite a bit more blowy and lumpy than seabreeze predicted early , then it flattened off after 12 .. just normal weighted paternoster rigs Boydy

Great fish Chris!
I sulked all day at the office knowing what could have been and then you come and rub salt in the wound! Weather looks terrible the weekend so dry dock for me again.

Cruise Craft
Which model Cruise Craft are you fishing from? I have the 6.25 Explorer and find it a great fishing platform.

Hi Fisheagle, I wish Raff was
Hi Fisheagle, I wish Raff was right and it was a 6.85 but alas it's the same as yours mate 6.25 Explorer and agree best boat I've had by a long shot top rig for fishing and not bad for entertaining the family in a bay on a nice day either.

Nice job
Some good size there, top effort
There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.
