Back from a few days down at Walpole. Always great heading down there,love the place-so many fishing options. From the River Inlets then out thru the rivermouth to the ocean.

Not a lot of water around the "famous" Skippy Rock in this pic:

Didn't catch anything around the Rock-headed over to the Flats and caught some nice fat sand whiting.

You can forget about the crabs down there- tried a couple of days,even the locals reckon they are extinct.

Headed out to Saddle Island-conditions weren't the best with a strong South Easterly blowing. Trolled around the Island. Managed some nice skippy around the reefs off the Island.

Had a hot drive back- 40 degree's when we stopped at Donnybrook for the tradional fruit stop.

Just as well we stopped. Noticed one tyre going flat- great just what I needed. Found some shade and changed the wheel over. Couldn't find anything in the tyre,but what I did find was that the tyre valve stem had perished,splits all around the base of the valve. These have been on the trailer for several years,and I suppose in and out of the salt water and sun. So I have replaced both valve stems. Just a heads up, if you are towing on a long trip,with hot road conditions,maybe have a look at your valve stems.
