The weather gods must be crazy

 So we made plans for yesterday (Friday) to punch out wide from Two rocks for a big day of demersal fishing. We studied all the weather sites Meteye, Fishranger, Seabreeze etc etc and they all agreed right up to the last time I checked at 4am. Light winds 8-10 knots max with a drop off in the arvo, that's the only thing they got right.

Ha ha well they all F^%%ked up. Got to the ramp and it was a good 15-20 with a shit chop, still headed out as the swell was pretty well correct at 1m but what a washing machine. Watched some clowns who looked like they'd been on the claret all night head out in a small runnabout ya gotta wonder. 

Anyway one deckie was providing burley and I was a bit green as I wasn't in my usual skippering role and not kept busy. 

But in the end we found some interesting ground before we hit any of Colin's marks and came up trumps with a couple of nice Dhuies amd Blackarse. Undersize Pinkys were thick out there with I reckon about 8 or nine released.

Thanks again for the day Colin, your boat is a weapon and handled the sea beautifully.

 I'm not sure, the guy Colin bought it off was living in Darwin at the time. But lives down here now, a tech working at INPEX.

 Good memory Gilly, yep that's her. Well I can say after being out in her it's got it all and then some. Cuts through the water like a laser.

 i went out at 7 yesterday and agree it was a mess. I was struggling to hold 18-20knots.

The fish were on the bite so we had a pretty good day as wel.
