Had a great time, lasted till about 2:15pm after launching around 9:15am and got sunburned, entertained by Bazzoo, Ken and Steve and had a well deserved rest on the couch till about 5:30pm. After all that we didnt make the Flower / Vegie markets ( He he, just been advised were going next time ) and scored a few PB's and a new species off the yak for myself, a 39cm Whiting of some description ( Wouldnt stretch to 40, just shy with its tough skeletal structure ) caught on my Perch coloured Predatek Micro Min, a fish for the AKFF Saltwater HOF!
Didnt bring the USB cable ( Doh! ), oooo actually, transfering from camera via card through printer to parents PC ( Ahhh, the wonders of technology ), spent an hour looking for mini USB cords only to realise they would be overseas with them at the moment.Ripper day fish wise, I managed to catch 5 Bream ( A PB of 30cm, smallest 18cm ), 3 Flathead ( Largest 40cm, smallest 33cm ), 1 Whiting ( 39cm, elbow slapper ) and 2 Tailor ( Biggest 25cm, smallest about 12cm )... Claire did ok too with 2 Tailor ( Biggest 31cm, smallest 23cm ) and a nice Bream that went 25cm.
Dropped numerous fish left, right and centre but enjoyed every last second of it, damage was done on the Micro Min and Ecogear CK ( Chubby style ). Deployed the standard Sx 40's in various pattens ( 5 different ones all up ) for nothing, same with the Halco Scorpions and a few assorted Frenzy lures, the Micro touched the bottom in as deep as 3.5m and was a pleasure to use on my light 1- 3kg setup.
Finished the day by going to the local shops and indulging in a dozen steamed BBQ pork buns, steamed asian greens with soy and some BBQ Roast Pork / Roast Soy Duck... Claire just ate some noodles, NOT! ( PS - Bazz, your too smooth... Claire was blushing after your lovely comments, keep ya schlong to your self! ).
Thanks again all for showing us the ropes, hope to get offshore over the long weekend next time and fish a bit longer...
