 Spent 3 hours in the outer harbour on 2nd day of the season for 3 size blueys, tried in around the moorings next day for 2 1/2 hour s for 2 size blueys and a few undersize, all very dirty shells like they have been buried in slime

 

Gave the estuary a shot for 3 hours and nil result in the middle running just north of the Collie river mouth up to where the pipeline used to cross for a big zero then out into Koombana bay for 1 bluey, 1 female and a huge occy  before telling myself you are wasting your time for something you don't eat too many of, maybe one or 2 a year is enough , so went and pulled our craypots for one southern.

Today we brought the last 2 craypots in as well because its not worth the ffort for the returns as well

 At least it gives you something to do in retirement.
