GPSguru Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 The boat is loaded, ready for a 7:00am launch. If the weather and sea forecasts hold overnight, then it looks like a trip to the Skerries 👍 Dicky, JonC and Andy135 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I’ve invited myself out on my own boat. Not a great forecast so I’ll just stay in the river, the water temperature is still up so there may be some bass about still. I’ve got some bacon and there’s a couple of pot noodles onboard. I just hope I don’t get a last minute text uninviting me in the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 I'm out early tomorrow with Leo. He's got somebody tagging along as a care in the community case. Should be a fun day, and at least my windows will be nice and clean afterwards. suzook12, JDP, GPSguru and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDP Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Yes, will be heading out this weekend. Floods have meant my trip up north from the bottom of the country to the top end has now needed to be re-routed adding an extra 1000km to the trip but its still going ahead. It will be 8 days of towing (4 each way) the boat and 12 days of remote island fishing. I was going to take some shark gear but have since decided to pull that gear from the tackle being taken as sharks up there can be a total pest but Im sure plenty will find us. My daughter just returned having been in the same area for the past month, where her best day was over 100 barramundi in one day between two of them. The reef fishing was also next level. Many of my trips have been with very windy weather up that way, so hoping this time will be better. At least the daily average of 33'c will defrost me after this cold winter we've had. Only wish JonC was coming with me but we can all dream I suppose. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDP Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 A few more yellowfin have turned up close to shore, so I should be out if the weather is good. Weekend just gone was good on small bluefin, Spanish mackerel, trevaly, groupers, it's and various sharks on light tackle. Will post a few images when I get them off my camera. Best from the shore was a shark around 60kg on a 3.5ft kids rod and 4000 spin reel. Best from the boat was a 2.4m shovelnose shark on a light Bone travel rod and a 4000 spin reel again.
