The weather forecast yesterday proved pretty accurate, so a bit lumpy to take two first timers out. Dennis 10 and Harrison 11 came down with there grandfathers for a day out. A leisurely 10.30 bridge and a few “are we nearly there yet?” we first went round towards Lakeyard. Neither had caught fish under there own previously, but after a bit of instruction both were happily getting double shot Chequers and single Black Bream. ( I had tied two hook rigs with semi circles and they had over 25 Bass and every one except one was lip hooked👍) After half a dozen schoolies we changed tactics to try and avoid them, no chance! Wonderful to know the nursery area is still strong with the number of predators they face. Both juniors had Black Bream, then Dennis hooked into a better fish, RESULT a thick lipped Mullet, first I’ve ever seen caught when not being targeted. This was followed by another new species in the boat for 2023 caught by Harrison, a Gilthead Bream. Its strange how youngsters are so spooky about handling worms, even after digging them, however both were happily handling them by the end of the day. Slack water at lunchtime and a quick sandwich we tried some drifts for some Plaice but just more Bass! 2.30 Bridge and another mark in Holes Bay only produced one Ballan Wrasse and MORE Bass. We had a wonderful day and they are really keen for another trip, two Grumpy grandfathers put the world of agriculture right so success all round.

A week to go before the Junior Species Comp. Fishing between 10.00am and 3.00pm, hopefully weather permitting we will be able to fish outside of the harbour, please look for any last minute posts if the weather is not good. Please book the Boat and Junior in as normal, if a non member please post name address and age for Brian to add to membership or give to me on the day. Afterwards we will be doing a presentation around 3.30 at Cobbs, goody bags and a few prizes, and most likely some pizzas and a few soft drinks and perhaps a beer for the parents! Members are most welcome at Cobbs but please post if your coming and if you would like pizza
