Hey guys,

headed south last week and got into a few, mostly injured ones in the gutters besides 1 school of maybe 80 fish. Got up on the cliffs for a scout and spotted larger schools out of casting range.

Living the dream

 Hey all went for fish over the weekend just north of Perth

Couple of mates got 2 mulloway in 20 mins!

One went 25kg plus and one went about 10-12kg

Latest report for all from the water off Gero

Left the marina early yesterday morning thru intermittent showers and a squally sth west wind forecast to drop right off. So we hoped....

Along for the trip was robbie my usual spear buddy and a sponsored diver from queensland - Chris Peiro with whom id made contact on a dive forum. Chris had been working in perth and is now heading north and back towards his home in the east. Hopefully we could put him onto some fish!

Fairly average wet trip to the area we had chosen to dive and a quick sound showed some promising grounds in 12-16m. Set the anchor and geared up. 0800

My first drop to the bottom in 14odd m showed promise with small baldies , trout and dhuies about along with the usual buffies. Good signs early. With all 3 of us now in we decided to get to work on some burly so a couple of buffs found the end and a steady stream of scales and flesh was soon drifting to the bottom.

First casualty was a 6kg dhu for robbie followed by chris with a 4kg trout. A monster spangled emp joined in and looked headed to join the other fish in the eski but as i lay in the kelpy weed waiting for the right shot , a couple of average bronzies came flying in and spooked everything! spewing

Bit more burly in the water column soon saw a school of spaniards arrive! Small school fish of around 10kg. I dove first and stoned one , chris second following suit and then rob in pretty quick succession. Sweet

Back at the boat i took some snaps for chris of his trout and everyones macks, we then discussed the next dhu. Being a east coast diver and having limited time in the water of Wa so far he was yet to shoot one. Decided between us that the next dhu was his. What a decision it was!

Rolled back into the drink , breathed up and dropped to a small ledge in 16m. Staring into the gloom and watching my dive time tick by steadily... Felt comfortable but also had that feeling of a large something close by.... Very slowly i turned 180 degrees.... HOLY $hit..... The biggest dhu ive had in range was slowly cruising past.

Looked up at chris and pointed , watching him do circles trying to spot wat it was! No good i surfaced after the min plus dive and screamed at him to dive! BIG DHU!

Chris took a hook breath and was gone..... From the surface i watched him scan the area first left then right... then he extended his euro 120.... Closed the distance a touch and fired!

The rest was history - he had stoned the 15kg male dhu cold! high fives and handshakes between all! AWESOME

Big pic session followed understandbly and we where all very chuffed.... The following 10 or so dives we awesome! Dhuies everywhere! Counted atleast 6 fish over 8kg in the one area and quiet a number of smaller fish aswell. Great signs & a spot to be kept veryyyy quiet and probably left alone for another 6months to avoid over fishing these beautiful fish.

Ended the session with myself nailing a nice 4kg trout.

Moved location 2 more times in search of a baldie but not to be despite considerable burlying and good ground.

Finished the day off in style tho - everyone had spread out just a tad and with the quiet fish action i decided to have some breathhold practice. First drop into a sand hole saw 1min 17.... Feeling comfortable and after a extended breath up i dropped again after 4-5mins. This time set on a min 20 or 30.....

Laying on the sand with my arms folded and eyes closed , my euro laying beside me i felt so relaxed it was great. Opened the eyes to check the watch.... 55 secs and a big spaniard.. WHA! A thumper spaniard with whiting disease had cruised in on the sand checking me out... Grabbed the gun , extended and fired - 20kgs thanks muchly....

Back at the ramp at 1230 for fillet session with 4 macks and 4 demersals between the 3 of us.... no where near our limit but more then enough fish for us all....

Apologies no pics as they are all on chris's camera and he has limited internet access whilst travelling... Will post a couple when they are sent thru.

Cheers guys poddy

As some may have known already, 3 FW members: Myself, Marky and Percula were off to Cone Bay for a week.

Well the weather turned sour and we called it off. Travelling 50km in 25kn+ Easterlies in 2 tinnies was suicide!!!

Instead, we camped 3 nights at Telegraph pool we we were treated to some HOT barra action.

We had 32 hookups which resulted in 19 landed fish. We kept a points tally, had beer-skulls for F-ups and great a fantastic time.

No meterey's, 3 in the 90's and only 5 under 80cm, boy these fish were FAT! All taken on lures, with trebles crushed!

The snag in the structurescan pic produced many of the big fish. The scoreboard was Marky-7, Dicko-6, Percula-6....Enjoy!

Had the day off work today, so I headed out for a quick squid bash in the tinny.  Picked up a couple of corkers out towards Carnac, then things slowed.  I had to start heading back so I went right in close behind to the beach behind the groyne and picked up another 7 or so and 2 cuttlefish.  Back home by half 10 with a good feed to tea.  Got to love a solo session, was a little windy out there, but still nice.

First time I've kept a cuttly, anyone have any tips for cleaning, preparing cooking.  For what I've seen on a quick search it seems you cook it just like squid, quick and hot.   Seem like slimy buggers.

Headed out roughly around 2pm for a quick squid bash,hadnt tried squidding around perth in the new boat, so found some nice weedy/sand looking ground, and boy were they thick!!! Would of caught around 25, lost more easily another 10 , due to conversation/beer drinking and not watching the rods!!!

a couple of things we noticed:

Size wore on as the day went on,it was getting to the point of squid only a 1/4 of the jig size larger!

Pink was colour of the day by far.

Orange did ok....

Was on the water from 2-5 30ish

And now very large feed of squid rings mmmm...!

cheers all

 Just dashed out with the only chance I had to get on the water for this weekend and nailed a few nice squid. Took my bro out and we had lines in the water for no longer than an hour and landed 21 good sized squid. Certainly the best consisent sizes I've had in any session this year. 

The jig on the handline trailing a few meters behind the boat landed more squid than either of us working our rods surprisingly. Right at the end we had atleast 3 big squid under the boat but none of them were interested in any jigs. Had to go help out a boat who couldn't start their motor, a jump start with a bit of chop was certainly a bit sketchy but somehow they got it started after we took the lead OFF. 

Always great to get out on the water and can't wait to taste the spoils of our labour!

I got the chance to pop out for a quick fish on friday arvo, with the medium easterlies i decided to stay in close and get some squid.

Headed out from Mindarie and started a drift close to shore in front of the surf club. The water was a bit cloudy and it took a while to get the first one in the net and with a hood of 30cm i was pretty happy. After that they got a bit more active and within an hour we had 12 squid on ice , the largest having a hood of 34cm.

With enough for a good feed i headed out just in front of the first reef and send down the whiting rigs with the hope of some sandies to eat or for bait. Picked up one straight away and my friend got another two, not very big but good size for bait on the next outing.

The next drift we both hooked up on some thumper skippy and continued till we had 8 plump ones in the esky. They were all about 35cm and were great fun on the bream rods with 4 lb braid . On the last drop before heading in my friend hooked up and line started tearing of his reel at pace, i thought it might have been a pinky as we landed a few small ones earlier. As the fish got near the boat i realized it was a big skippy, and at 43cm on 4 lb gear my friend did well to get it in the boat.

I used to fish like this quite often but now i tend to head out deeper chasing the Dhu and snapper, I forgot how mutch fun the small rods can be , and altho i was chasing whiting there are lots of other species that can turn up and keep you happy .

Cheers Grant

fed the blowies today, fished from 4-8with no real luck, few small whiting and flattys returned but might be worth another go.

Hey guys, my bro inlaw just got an 18.5 ft boat and we are looking for a good spot to go for a fish we live in gosnells so do you guys have any suggestions where to go? Would be great if you could share some spots

Thanks

Nathan

Headed out late yesterday arvo for a squid. We left it a little late hitting the water around 4:30 Shot over to the islands and worked some banks. Didnt really get onto them but managed some beauties. Best one going a 30cm tube. The $5 dollar green cheapy did the damage.

Headed out on the troll off Rockingham and headed norwest. Matt Lined out and as soon as he flicked the bail he was on. We dropped that fish but shortly after got a double hook up and boated 2 blues almost double the size of the fish at the beginning of the year. Hunted around on the bank for a while looking at lumps but nothing exciting. Left the bank and headed for home and picked up a few more blues and a big sharky which went a smidge under a meter. Bit sad when it wasnt a spaniyard but thats fishin. Anyways fun session out there.

 A 75-pound spotted eagle ray leaps from the water in the Florida Keys, striking a woman riding in a boat, killing her. The stingray died from the impact. Officials say stingrays do leap from the water, but do not attack people.

Here's some pics from our time in Coral Bay. The weather wasn't the best but we still managed to get some great fish. The boat is parked up as the next 2 days look too windy and we are leaving Saturday.

 Time for another trip report!

Leading into the weekend it was either a Abrolhos sojurn or a SharkBay adventure... Closer to the date and a monster swell put payed to enjoyable diving so it was Shark Bay here we come!

This was to be my first big trip in the tub since we joined forces and i was pretty excited at the chances of some good fish and good times with the boys.. Along with us was "Team Rukkus" Consisiting of capt Toddy & his faithful deckies Briso and Friesy on board the ever reliable Quintrex hunter 445. "Team Shoot 2 Thrill" was myself and Dave on the "big" centery

Left Gero around 6 friday arvo with some coldies in the waeco and full tanks of juice. The 4 hour trip passed comfortably in the cool night - regular bearing checks and tinkle stops the only interuptions beside one unlucky roo. Saw the poor bugger 400m ahead in the big lightforce spotties and slowed to a crawl litterally... 15kph... the roo bounded off the road , stopped and bounded straight back into the car and under the drivers wheel - no damage done beside the poor skip. Hit Denham late friday and went straight to the jetty to try for a few squiddlies!

Dang the poor things had copped a hiding over easter! Just the site of a jig on the jetty sent them screaming for dirk hartog! We perservered and managed 3 for a quick taste but nothing special - couple more beers and bed for the next day.

Team Rukku's where up and off early - keen to hit the board while the late start of Team Shoot 2 Thrill saw a more gentlemans approach. the rukus mob heading west to the bent pin area in search of big pelagics while dave and i had our sites set on reefies north of town.

The big Yammie 4 stroke pushed us along at a easy 26knots in 3-4ft of sharkbay's crystal shallows and after a quick stop to film a decent tiger moochin around hunting rays , Dave & myself finally reached our first destination. This was where my decision to wear the 2mm top and wettie shorts quickly revealed itself to be a absolute shithouse idea. 20C warming later in the day to 22C.... BRRR

First area showed some good tuskies but too elusive and plenty of other odds n sodds. The 2nd spot alot more sexy! Dropping in revealed 2 thumper trout. Did the team thing and let richo have first crack as he hadnt shot a real big trout yet. First one spooked tho as he dove on it and the 2nd one ripped off under a ledge on what dave called a good holding shot? Very disappointing.

Abit of a swim away from the boat saw a monster 10kgplus tusker spook into the gloom and a decent rankin evade me. Not happy jan - dave however fared better locating the first big trout again and this time it all went like clockwork. He did however have the decision of Big trout or big Rankin as they sat side by side. The pics show which decision was made! Mandatory photos taken and a visit from a beautiful manta ray (my first time seeing one underwater) and back into the spearing proper.

this time i came up trumps with a solid 6kg tuskie and 2 nice rankins. Things looked up!

Few more spots changes here and there before time ran out , the water too bloody cold and the sun gettin low we hit the long road back to Denham at 28knots and 3 icey bevvies each where appreciated.... No BCF here but this surely is Livin!

Final tally saw Team Shoot 2 Thrill with 2 good tuskies 2 good rankins Daves big trout and a thumper spanish flag. Add to that 2 jumbo Red crays and we where stoked.

Team Rukku's where very dissapointing with just a small spanish and average grey mackerel gracing there decks... 

that night we hit the most western pubs on the mainland and entertained ourselves before hitting the sack around midnight. One Ruku's member a tad worse for wear... Victory was nearing for dave and I!

Day 2 dawned another magic day - light easterlys. Boats everywhere for the fishing fiesta and all sorts happening in town. Twas now that Team Rukku's , down one member after the previous nights entertainment declared there innings short and returned to gero tail between there legs. Dave and i pressed on tho in absolute magic conditions...

First dive was good - coral & fish about but nothing was killed. Again big tuskers seen but all too flighty. The half dozen boats zooming around showed that this little patch must cop a fair hiding. Did manage to hand feed a couple of Ripper Cod tho in the shallows.

Without too many details we ended up searching high and low in the glassed of bay but it just wasnt to be. Raging current in one spot was undivable safely - filthy water in others and spots that should have held fish void. Never mind you have days like that. Only added one more good Blackspot to the bag.

Overall tally for the 2 days saw richo and myself do about 275ks and use 90l of fuel which i was stoked about. The 100hp pushing us along at between 25 and 32 knots when allowed effortlessly. Being my first extended trip in the girl i was fairly stoked... "look out exmouth!"

Left denham at about 7 sunday night and cruised home steadily. Monday spent cleaning and packing and Dave off to perth with a eski full of prime fillets...

Gotta be happy with that

Took a couple of mates down to tantabiddi sunday to get a bluebone first then nail a red when the wind dropped later. Gotta love it when the plan comes together so well . . .

Aarons new pb bone. 830mm and 8 kilos of jaw and muscle.

 My red from 30 metres water just outside the reef . .

 Back in Freemantle after the short sortie for the Salmon down south I was excited to recieve a message from Ben (goodz) saying that there was a chance to head out on his boat for a second trip; of course depending on the weather conditions.  The plan was to begin fishing in more sheltered waters close to coast, and as the day progressed, and if the weather forecasters were correct, we could move out to deeper water as the wind was predicted to drop at midday.  Snappers were on the list of species we could target and how could I refuse after previously seeing pictures of magnificent big hump headed Pink Snappers on Fishwrecked.  A nice pinky would definately keep me happy for a while. Along with Mulloway, it's one of the two fish I am really hoping to catch while over here in Australia.

 

Just a quick report.

Spent the last 3 days down at Walpole on a house boat with some friends who had been there for a few weeks already. Fished pretty much night and day all through out the inlet and at Circus beach. First night we fished close to the mouth of the inlet and picked up a dozen king george with the biggest going 56cm along with bream and gardies. Within ten minutes of fishing there were about 2 or 3 rays around the boat. Second night we fished the Franklin river for bream and flathead, picking up the odd king george, and again the rays were among us. We set out a few live small mullet under floats and on the bottom. We lost one mysterious fish under the float and I picked up a lovely 4 ft gummy shark from the Franklin river among the snags on my stradic ci4 2500 and 2-4 kg nitro rod.

Next day we fished Circus beach, however conditions made it tough with seas to 3m. Picked up a few salmon around 6-7kg, a dozen bull herring and a good skippy close 1kg. We then retired to a good night in, with drinks and some freshly cooked fish.

Sorry about no pictures, didn't think to take any pictures. Shark and salmon were all released at the water. 

Picked up this monster during a herring bash yesterday arvo.  Tube length checked in at 36cm and I think it was about 58cm from tip to the end of its smaller tentacles.

Can't wait for tea tonight!

Waited for the wind to drop and headed out at 3:30 .lines in the water at 4:15 good fish on the sounder not really going ,off but still some good fish caught .Jesse pulled the big one again on a plastic went 11.5 kg.we tagged three dhuies and a 480mm BB. home just after dark .

Had a great day off jurien yesterday. Me and the girlfriend pulled into Jurien for 2 days to get some fish and crays In the esky for the next week as we slowly make our way towards exmouth.

Woke up at 630 probably the earliest we ever have in the last 6 months, The boat was already packed and ready  to go so it was just a matter of hooking up and straight to the marina, we pushed in just after the sun rose with a bit of a fresh easterly blowing. The idea for the day was to troll along the 15-20m line from south passage northwards hopefully to hook a tuna a definitely some macks… definitely hopefully… then a dive just out of north passage in the same depth.

We hit the drop off out of south passage about a mile south of seaward ledge and started a bit of a zigzag northwards. We ran a pusher and the trusty old battered 150 scorpion chrome pink. It was quiet travelling for about the first 20 minutes until my old TLD that’s been lacking in action since it was bought screamed to life, finally the sucker got its work out, after the 3 runs, a short fight, plenty of surface circling with me slapping the surface like a man possessed for the one handed gaff job we finally had the first serious fish onboard the new tinny, a nice Mackie probably of around 10-12kg unmeasured though and caught on the scorpion. We had a few pic’s with the fish, dispatched it and then I was left  with me  staring at the meter plus mack and my little 40 litre coleman cooler then back at the mack and started to think maybe we should call the dive, head back and get this thing on ice…

but first to get the woman onto a fish. The team together decided to pull in the pusher as it seemed macks were the call for the day and we swapped it for another scorpion, a deep diver. We motored around over to the same spot we hooked up previously and two minutes into the troll the tld lit up again. Just as I was passing the rod forward to Jac,.. SNAP! zzzzzzzz turned around to see the heavy outfit that had the deep diver hanging by an inch inside a snapped rod holder with line peeling away at a rate of knots, Jac’s fish had come off the TLD so I handed the next  over and she was straight onto the rod holder busting bastard. She’d tell it like a story of triumph and brute strength but all I remember were girly screams and whimpers and her wildly calling out if I have enough line on this reel! Anyway she did a good job and of the 700 meters of line on the reel it had only really pulled out around 40, but she’ll tell it different. Soon enough we had it boatside and for a littler but still decent mack it put up a great little tussle. Now we already had more than enough fish to get us through the next few days so it was a case of a quick tail grab a few more photos and it was speared back over the side.

Then the wind died off and in 15 meters of water we could clearly see the bottom zipping by under us and it was decided, to hell with it we’ll do the dive anyway the fish can wait for another hour under a wet towel. Not far away was the dive site and we were soon washing the Mackie blood spatters off our blood soaked dive gear.

We hit the water like two oversized balls of shark chum and conditions were much better than our last visit to this reef where vis was less than 2 meters. The ground was awesome last time but this time when we could actually see it was amazing. The ground had heaps of ledges and swim thru’s, soft corals everywhere with yellow turret corals the stand out covering most ledges but no crays in sight.

 We swam around for about half an hour and almost got attacked by a cuttlefish that was intrigued with my reg. Next we headed west for the deeper ground that was around 18meters, as soon as we glided down the 4 meter ledge we got buzzed by a school of 3 macks and the broken flat sandy ground away from the drop off was crawling with baldies we counted around 12 some undersize but most were legal. We were down off that bit for around 15minutes and about four times we had macks coming in and checking us out above us at around the 10meter depth. The rest of the dive was just all the usual suspects and then back to the dory. We didn’t see any  dhuies  this time though  and unfortunately no crays.

So yea pretty stoked with our effort today in our little dory, in and out by 10 o’clock, a great dive and two macks from 3 hits in less than half an hour of trolling. Just worried seeing were going north chasing the fishing and diving might just be easier to do the same in Jurien and save the cash.

Next stop were off to check out shark bay for the first time with a lot of fish to eat!

Shot out for a quick one after work yesterday to the weed banks off Hillary's. Two of us got 12 squid in the bucket and 4 let go in about an hour of not really trying hard. Got pissed on though when that nasty little squall came through!

Interesting I found that when the wind was blowing and the water chopped up, all squid were hooked in their tentacles and when the weather passed and the water settled down, they were all hooked in their arms!

I've been watching the weather forecast ever since we got back from our Easter weekend in Jurien Bay....keen to wet a line again down here.

Thursday (today) looked the pick of the days so I lined up a mate and I ditched work and we hit the Dawesville ramp at 7am...heading out thru the Cut, we get a warning buzzer going off. Stopped an lifted the outboard to check for weed around the water pickup, even though the telltale was working fine. Nothing obvious so we tried again and as we reached the open water, the buzzer sounds again, then the sounder's 'low voltage alarm' goes off....it appears the battery is dying...but it's brand new, just like everything else in and on the boat. 

Thought we'd limp it back into the Cut but didn't get far before we're dead in the water....drop anchor and it's 'scratch our heads' time. Into the tool box and out with the multimeter on the battery; 12V...hmmm...it's as if the alternator isn't charging....lift the engine cover and the plug that's supposed to be connected to the alternator is hanging in mid-air. Pushed it back into place, heard the 'click' as it seats properly and fingers crossed we hit the key....the 125 bursts into life and we're back in business. Cancelled the call to the water rescue and we head out again.

Funny thing though, we used the boat 4 days over Easter and not a hint of a problem.

The conditions didn't really match the forecast as it was quite swelly, choppy, windy and a bit uncomfortable. Found a previous spot and although there was plenty of colour on the sounder, nothing was really interested (don't you hate that). Had 3 drifts over the spot and we decide to call it a day.

Home by 1pm so we played 9 holes and just got finished when it starts chucking it down....nice to see some rain, though.

Anyone else wet a line today....how did you go?

regards
rusty...

PS. Who was it who said 'the fishing's no good if the wind direction has NORTH in it', or is this just an old wive's tale???? The wind today definitely had NORTH in it, and the fishing wasn't very good....maybe there's something in it after all.

 got this bastard throwing around 3 inch minnow placcys about an hour ago. 49cm. 

hi guys.

thinkin about heading down to e sheds tonight for a fish.

any news on whats been biting recently?

I've always wanted to head down south around Easter to try and get into some salmon, so this year with a few days off work and uni decided to make the pilgrimage for a couple of days of fishing and relaxing (boozing). My Norwegian mate was keen as mustard, he's not too experienced with fishing but loves camping and exploring the country regardless. So after much consideration decided to head to Windy Harbour and have a look around for a campsite for a couple of days. The plan was pitch some tents and some tarps close to the beach and go from there. Neither of us had been there before so it was mostly going to be guess work.

So I headed off to pick him up around 5am Wednesday morning, and naturally we didn't get moving til about 6:30. How good is it leaving Perth down an empty freeway when the lanes heading the other way are choccas!

After a few hours and a stop or two on the way we left Northcliffe for the final leg. By now the ute tray was pretty flooded, so its a good thing everything was stored in plastic clip boxes! Well then the hail began. This was to set the mood for most of the trip...

First off took a drive to Salmon Beach for a few photos from the top. Well it was blowing around 40kn with a swell of several metres so fishing was out of the question for the time being!

After heading through the settlement of Windy Harbour, we took the track east with the plan on pitching tents at the Gardner River mouth. So down went the tyres and exploring began.

After about 8 or 9 kays reached the track to the beach and stuck like glue to the tracks, as the rest of the dune looked nastily deep and soft. Made it to the rivermouth and hopped out for a celebratory can. And got rained on...and rained on. Up went the tents, literally, cos they were basically being blown away. Note: must invest in bigger sand pegs. Spent the next hour or two in between setting up and hiding from the downpours in the car. Only managed a quick cast for nothing

Spirits were beginning to get a bit down as we couldn't even get a tarp shelter set up in that weather. Spending three days and two nights drenched and covered in sand... but that's what campings all about right? haha

Well then two of the best blokes around popped up in their little cruiser and in a nice way questioned why the hell we were so stupid as to be there... and proceeded to tell us about this cabin in the forest up the river, which is free for the public, currently vacant and has a FIREPLACE and DRY WOOD. Well, that sold us. So back everything went in the car and we headed back over the dunes towards the river.

What was I said about sticking to the tracks? Kinda slid off to the side.

I tell you what, that cabin was the greatest thing ever at that point. Ripped off the wet gear, got a fire going and basically stayed in front of that thing for the bigger part of the trip, overlooking the river and ocean. Beautiful!

Day two involved a bit of fishing but it was the same story again. Wind was a bit lighter but swell was still up. Rain didn't stop. Saw two salmon in buckets as we arrived at salmon beach, but those people said the fish were extremely few and far between. Didn't see a single fish pulled in while we were there on day two. Maybe it wasn't meant to be!

Why the hell would someone wear gumboots in a big swell? Musta still been drunk.

Day three and the plan was to pack up early, cook up a feed, spend the morning at salmon beach again before heading home. Well we didnt make it there til after 10am however the weather was looking great... as it does on the day you have to leave. One salmon had been caught all morning between about 30 fishos. So not looking too flash again!

Multiculturalism..

I walked up the beach to the far cliffs, throwing metals, richters and poppers for about 3 hours to no avail. I had all but given up, plus we had to be back in Perth by about 6 so time was really up. On just about the last cast I was going to give, the richter got smashed and line started screaming off. That's the first salmon I've hooked except for small salmon trout, and I tell you what, I understand why people make the trip. What an exciting fish! I spent the next few minutes sh**ting my pants about losing the fish as it lept in the air and took off every time I got it near the shore. Got the bugger in, it wasnt huge probably only max about 5kg, but man was I satisfied. One fish was enough, straight back to the car and home again!

Loved it down Windy Harbour, will definitely have to treck it down again and explore some of the other huts and campsites I've heard about in the national park.

Hi All

Looking at throwing a line in at Bunkers Bay or around there any way.

I have alwats seen small whiting floating about. Anything else I can be chasing?

Is there any abolony close to the shore?

Cheers.
