Adrian and his crew on-board today with a 6.00 am start.

The weather forecast looked OK up until midday when the wind would start to blow.

We started fishing but it was not as good as yesterday with smaller hounds. Only one bass and a few more mackerel on the ebb tide.

We moved a bit closer to home and managed to catch one skate.

A bit of a bumpy ride home but we got the day in.

All the best,

Saturday 3rd July – Fishing Trip

My uncle Jim and his crew from work on-board today with a six o’ clock start.

Weather was good to us today; flat and calm all day.

We managed to get into some hounds falling to both crab and squid bait.

As low water approached us we saw some gulls working the shore line so we had a drift through the feathers and managed a few mackerel and lots of school bass so a good bit of fun.

For the flood tide I decided to anchor over a bit of wreckage but before dropping anchor we drifted it.

Keith had one take but lost his fish so he dropped back down and hooked a nice 6lb bass.

The tide took a long time to come back so we only managed a few more hounds before it was time to steam home.

All the best,

Skipper Steve
