Had a day planned on my mates tinny but he cancelled at the last minute so I headed out with another mate and his SIL from Darwin on the yaks.
Got to the usual spot at 4:30am just as the sun was poking up. High tide was predicted to be around 5:30am. 2nd cast my 3 inch Gulp grub minnow in watermelon got chomped by a 50cm flatty. Toppy, into the keeper net he goes. Next cast 22cm bream..... hmmmm..... might be a nice day but I had spoken too soon. Pretty quiet for a couple of hrs so we paddled up into the shallows behind the islands and got onto a patch of bream. My mate got a 36cm and I got a 28cm and 31cm as well as a 32cm Javelin fish (which went back).
Ran into Mick (Selfy) and his nice young family and had a chat. Pulled in another small flatty while we were chin waggin then one of the power squadron comes flying past the yak on his 90000cc Seapoo with his GF on the back within about 10mtrs at full noise across the sandbar and through the channel exiting Bells.... Sorry I am usually pretty calm but this guy was a MORON!! (Rant over)
Any way it really was a nice day on the water. Roll on Chrissy holidays!!
