Of beer you had on board

You don't mind that shit in the sound but not 38km's out.

Great pic but wouldn't do it justice unless you were actually there on the water, I'm glad I wasn't!

IF IT SMELLS LIKE FISH IT MUST BE GOOD FOR YOU!

I have some pics just like that one,you sound like you had a good day

which one, was it the first storm/rain that went though or the second, the second was way more heavy but didnt last as long

We got caught in a pisser out there too. goes to show how acurate the weather repot is....

Nice pic mate. 

I would have had pics like that but I don't have a underwater camera !!

Had to turn on the bilge pump to pump out the rain at one stage.

to get some courage to stay out,most were drunk when we got in the sound but that was'nt many

 Copped an old fashion flogging out in the rain. Did the water turn pretty violent after this?

Thanks.

then came the winds after that,had to head into it so put a lure out got two bonito and a 5kg stripey in 5mins

Once the first rain storm came the water went to crap from then on.

Oh until about 3pm when we were all having drinks at the ramp, except Pacemaker who we were beging to think he had sunk from the rain or was in the cabin with his girlfriend/wife ?? doing some other kind of fishing !!

Well done on the Bonito's and Stripe Tuna. I was fishing the reefs along Burns Beach/Mindarie area, a bit afraid of the lightning due to having a graphite rod in my hand attach to it a Halco Twisty 30g. Water and Volts does not match lol. 

Thanks.

The "Perfect Storm" was one thing that went through our heads yesterday....just a better outcome....just that is!

I was watching that come in on the radar, nightshift friday night. Posted up on here that it was coming and when I saw how bad it looked.

The forcast did say turning NW to 18kts. Showers, increasing in the afternoon,  thunderstorms with squalls to 40kts.

I phoned Dazza at 6:15 and he said he could see the lightning out to sea from Point Peron so I am surprised you guys even went out.

V8 twin turbo diesel....Ohh what a feeling!

That started about 1hr after we lanched.

About the same time as we lined up for our second drift

didnt look that bad at 630 noha, though did come in pretty quick and pretty nasty too

All the crew were experienced and know their boats capabilities.....was wet but not too bad.......in any case it was a good handicap and the winners were well deserved.

Thats again to Tim and Andy (soft) Mac for organising a great get together...

 and a big thanks to the sponsors, Oceanside and Compleat.....

That snapper pulled from the channel markers was a cracker.....bet not to many people have pulled em from there.....probably wouldnt even think about fishing it

well done to all the winners

fully agree there salmo with everything, though you may not have headed out as deep as some of the other boats not sure? but i know the waves started getting a little big, i do remember one skipper saying he was shitting himself a bit but it made for an interesting day

near the passage Mako...found a great spot.... heaps of fish on the sounder pulled a couple of rat pinks.....

But deckie had trouble with the anchor setting.....

very quick drift made it hard to hit the bottom quickly.....needed a heavier pick.

Then the lightning started .....We watch a big hit strike land near peron itself....think it was the passage marker on the hill......and Spess got a love knock with the static from his rod.....bit hairy so retreated back south to Peron......

Going back to that area again soon.....

yeah some good area down there, true that lightning wasnt too good and with the rods wouldnt have been good, i went out close to 30kms offshore and was pretty nasty out there for us

Now that is courage.....Cordroy shorts sort of stuff!!!!

yeah a couple of us were out that far prob, wasnt to bad till after the last front came thru us and the seas picked up, made for a slow trip back

We only ventured about 15k out and that was bad enough.

Wasn't worried at any time out there but was a bit worried later when we couldn't see Garden Island or the bridge until we were only meters from it
