Fished Porlier this morning, was nice first thing, lost a couple nice ones and about 8 under size, went home empty handed. Wind really blew up and made it too difficult for my 18.5 boat to fish it well.
 
Heading out tomorrow, will decide on thrasher in the morning depending on conditions.
Anyone else going?

Not inclusive of 29-3? I'm confused.

portions of 29-3 to 29-5 that lie south easterly of that line, That's at least the way i interpreted it. So T10/sandheads would be in included but QA and south bown are still normal regs

Sorry to be thick but does this mean "...portions of 29-3 TO 29-5" or "...portions of 29-3 AND 29-5"? If the first wouldn't that exclude 29-5.
 
Going out tomorrow all day. Gonna hit South Bowen and maybe the hump if the wind isn't too bad.
