Incredible Morning at Mud

Incredible - the Bay Whisperer didn't fill the boat with fish. What is the world coming to !!

Very quiet morning. Plan was to get to Mud before sun-up, chuck placcies for a while then troll for tailor as the morning got on.

Plan started well. After a wet run across from Clontarf, we arrive pre-dawn at Mud and Shane is into a keeper snapper on about his 3rd cast. High hopes after that. We then fished the next hour or so for two undersize snaps.

All right - we will clean up on tailor instead. Shane is onto a keeper in the first minutes of the troll. High hopes again. We then troll for another hour or so for 2 undersize fish.

Alternated between placcies and trolling for the rest of the morning - for a few bloody grinners.

Did see a nice looking boat to fish off - very stable platform.

Forgot to photo the fish so took the next best thing !!

Yes that photo was me, just out testing the new radar system. Thought I'd get in before anyone else:36_002:

Long way to lift the fish though !!

Onya Pete and Shane

Hope its not that tough for me tomorow chasing red ones

Enjoy your fillets

Funny how fish can build you up & let you down even quicker.. At least you got a taste

Did you provide him with cooked breaky of bacon/snag sambos like we did last week? Well that was your problem.

He kept saying "thank goodness it wasn't like this last week with the boys " !! I gave him cold snags and hard boiled eggs. I am still trying to work out why the skipper has to feed the deckie though !!

Yep mark he found out what cold snags and boiled bum nuts gets very low fish catch rate but at least I boated the keepers you think last week was tough glad we did not fish today it would of been a big disappointment

Didn't think it was a hard equation either. Also noted he got the Whisperer wet as well on the ride across. We let the Whisperer drive the boat.

Yeap, way it is at the moment.

not worth a run then boys?

B, we scratched up a good mixed feed, but it wasn't a hot bight. Chipped away at it and got a result. Was a great day out on the water with plenty of laughs and ribbing and gave the yank tank a good run.

You fellers are just too soft on the big pussy. He needs a few spoons of cement.

Brian - Shane and I think your immediate area is probably a better proposition at the moment. That may be our plan next weekend.
