Monday 20th Dec

The great fishing charter begins....

Pressing on regardless we headed off to Hilarys Boat Harbour and boarded the ship.

There would be no jigging for Samson fish this trip as apparently this season the Samsons hadn't been told they were supposed to be here by now and so bottom fishing was the go.

Unfortunately the weather did not improve, Cilla suffered her first case of seasickness and spent a large portion of the day throwing up. Several others, myself included were very close to joining her.

After about seven hours of almost gale force winds, extremely high seas and rain we returned to shore to Cilla's great relief.

Tally for the day was about 8 fish for the boat, no great sizes were found.

So I can add this to my list of failed fishing charters, I think I will stick to doing my own fishing trips in the future.

After returning to the resort for a shower and brief rest it was back to Sorrento Quay for fish & chips from Sharky's Restaurant and home to bed.

Tomorrow is planned to be a day of rest & recuperation, Chrissi, James and SandO will be heading back to Wagin and we will be joining them the day after.
