On the road just after 3:00 am and on the water by 6:30, no deckie this trip and planned to overnight on the water.
Pulled up at a little creek just down from the ramp and pretty soon had a 57cm and a 60cm barra in the esky, my favourite eating size barra, both caught with a Sqidgie Mongrel.
Continued on to Catfish Creek and joined the flotilla of boats trolling between Catfish and Elliot and Hares Rockbar. The big girls were turning it on with meteries being caught one after the other up till around 2:00 oclock when it finally slowed down. Unfortunately none of them were on my boat, I only managed to land a 94cm, which I successfully returned, but I lost three others the same size or bigger.
Decided to camp up at Lookout Creek, so anchored up and tried casting the Mongrel to pick up my last keeper for the trip without a touch, tossed a Big B52 out the back as a stroller while setting up the boat and picked up a nice 84cm barra which was also successfully released.
Set up the mozzie net and hammock and after a steak and salad and a couple of Bundies, hit the sack.
Up early for brekkie and back into the troll.
No luck at Hares, so headed down for a look at Moon and back to Alligator Point where a smaller flotilla of boats were trolling. Once again saw a few big girls being caught, but managed to pick up a little 60cm to get my bag limit for the trip.
Headed back to Hares for a couple of runs before heading back to the ramp and home.
No meteries for me but still a couple of good fish and 3 freezer size to take home to the Boss.
