Friday of Easter weekend report

Early start but we didn't go to corroboree as previously planned
Ventured into the harbour given I had to back in arvo so,wife could head off to ride her horse
Hard to justify that long a trip with boat for the half a day allowed by wife
Even though local waters 5minutes from home, I was back in by 11:30am - as could be low tide issues later
But Peter stayed out and I will go help him get boat in later in arvo - take my little girls with girls some fun - will update you as to how he faired in afternoon

As for the morning's Swoffing.....
Again awesome sunrise over the harbour

We went to Weed reef first up and the tide was just turning from a 7am high tide of 7m
Just the tips of Mangrove tree leaves showing when we arrived
Plenty of chop from wind coming across harbour
Periodic bust ups were occurring near the gravel bar on the harbour side of weed reef
Once the boat was in position it was a cast a fish for a while but died off quickly
First of all we got 40-45cm queenfish, then it was all brassie trevally around 35cm
Then nothing

We would cast across current with a couple of mends to assist the flies and line sink deeper
Then within the first couple of short slow strips and we were bent to the handle
Flies were sparsely tied synthetic clousers
Plenty of double hookups with these feisty fish, who fight well above their weight with the racing current aiding them

Sadly Peter also managed to shred a full sink line on his electric during this time
But quickly re-tied a  leader on with a nail knot to the half of sink section left and still caught fish

We went to Mandurah - nothing along way or there
Popped over to east point but nothing there either
Found a few mackerel off the tip of the sand far out from Cullen bay wharf but they were being very difficult
Then nothing on way back to Dinah ramp to drop me back early

More to come this Easter so stay tuned.......
