Not on our part. We had a great day on the water though. There were some nets out. Another group got a couple of springs and a mess of prawns.

That's really clever actually, but no. Hole In The Wall. Just outside of Horseshoe Bay.

I really overthought that one. Funny, I've fished HITW before, caught fish there, knew where I was, was conscience at the time. I'll have to put that down to a brain fart.

Found a few today up Howe sound. Weather was better than we were expecting but some chop from SE on the way back to north arm.

Fished tunstall, waterfall and grace and picked up these three keepers along with a few others just under. Chartreuse Needlefish spackleback hootch was the winner today in 180-200. Heater was cranked and bbq hot dogs for lunch. Felt like summer out there … almost.

Beauties!

Fished Tunstall and Cape Roger Curtis today, a couple shakers, lost a couple, a couple just unders. Off bottom; spoon, hoochie and bait all produced bites. Flat calm, beautiful day on the water. Saw a humpback south of Bowen.

Fished Tunstall yesterday, got in to fish right off the bat. First one was a keeper on a herring aid followed by 4 undersize all on a hoochie. Nice and calm, prawning was decent as well.

Fish Howe Sound today, released dozen undersized 55cm to 60cm range. Got 3 keepers 65, 77 and 78 cm. the bigger ones were 12lbs. the prawns
seemed to elude us today. Crabbing was good. Calm day mix showers.

Sign up for a free account with predict winds. It’s a little too far out to make that kind of decision. But at 40 knots in the wrong direction it will likely cancel.

Do you plan on fishing from the ferry?
