Sept 8th

Five am, picked James up and headed out to Saltwater Arm. Road was good in parts and terrible in others so managed to be on water by six thirty.
Water was pretty calm for the crossing to the Wilshires and the first Barra was in the boat by around 0830.
Wasn't to be a bag limit day, but ended up landing around a dozen barra and 4 Blue Salmon.
Size wasn't there either with only 3 legal barra but a great day all the same.
The new car park area is great, but forgot to take any pictures of it. Water temp was 28 - 29.
Here is a couple of shots of the fish.

                                                  

June - August

Finally got around to checking my blog, hard to believe it was back in May I last updated.
Well this has been the best run off and dry for years fishing wise and what with one thing or another , I have done less trips than previous years.
Started off with a trip to the Daly in June with Trevor. First day was a disaster with the steering springing a leak. Managed to get back to the ramp using a paddle strapped to motor with Trevor perched on the pod steering. Back to town for repairs and a bearing replacement on the trailer.
Second day was better with me managing to land 3 barra and to top off the troubles, left camera in car so had to use mobile to record.

            


After that trip the trailer was sent to 2rods for some serious mtce.
One new axle, new bearings throughout and oilers fitted onto all running wheels plus new improved brake calipers and pads brought the trailer back to tip top condition.

Three trips to Coroborree, one by myself for two barra and a saratoga, one with Neil from WA where we managed to get him his first barra and a couple of others and another with Jaysen who missed out on a barra but caught his first Saratoga.

One other trip to the Wilshires with Jeff, Trevors Dad which resulted in 1, 72cm barra for me.

                                 

We are now trying to get more colour in the garden and so are planting Hibiscus and Desert Roses, these are some of the varieties we have at present....

HIBISCUS..

                                                                                                                  DESERT ROSES..

We have also got a new car for Cilla, a Nissan Tiida.

Well thats all for this Blog. Finally arranged a fishing trip for the first week in September, so hopefully have something to report then.
