Shoal Bay just ok

Post by Ernie »

Left H/Doo at the ungodly hour of 3 am for an early morning assult on S/B
hoping to snag a bazz or 2.Partners in crime for the day were mates Ray and Melv (FFFer),Hit the ramp around 4 and scooted out asap.
Chased down some livies and set ourselves up for the low :drinking1: and 4 odd hours later we were still waiting,with a never ending supply of sharks & powertails destroying our livies and morale :banghead: :fubird: :banghead: Decided to try King r/bar for a change and 20 odd mts into the first run I got smashed by a good fish and after a fair ol tussle and a top net shot by Melv a 94 cm chrommie hit the deck a couple of photies and the lie detector and it was of to fight another day 8-) 8-)
This ended up being the only joy for the day,got out before the storms hit.
There's a fair bit of fresh coming thru the bay from what we seen today, dark tanning water pumping out. But I have never seen so much bait, Buff ck was alive under the spotlight with mullet smacking the boat on the way out, and King wasn't much different :banghead: :banghead: makes it hard for you bait/ lure to stand out from the masses :drinking1: :drinking1:

Yep, a long, hot day but worth it in the end just to see the big girl getting airborne 8-) You're just lucky I'm the type who gets as much enjoyment out of seeing someone else catch a nice fish as catching one myself................. :bs:
