Good Friday Fish
Fishing Report for 21/3/08
Finally got the boat out for a fish. Although it wasn't too serious. Got the the ramp about 7.30am. Very quiet there due to the poor forecast. But the wind was very light. A quick launch and we headed toward West Point. However, it soon became clear that we were not going too far. By Middle Reef it was blowing 15's and capping quite a bit. We headed for a spot between Middle Reef and West Point. It was very exposed to the Southerly wind that was blowing. But we had to have a fish, even if it wasn't a long one. Once anchored, the boat sat quite nicely in the water, and we managed a good hour or more fishing. Caught a few LM Nannygai, including a keeper about 42cm. Not bad for a mark so close to Town. The run home was rather bumpy. But we were easily able to maintain a consistant 20+ knots.
This is a picture of the first fish caught on the new boat. Didn't have my camera with us, so its a mobile phone shot!
And this is Lachy's first from the boat.
The Side Imaging of the Humminbird sounder seems pretty good. I didn't get a shot of the spot we were fishing, but I grabbed this while driving past the ramp. Not the best shot due to the angle I was on, but you get the idea.
