Sunday took the kids out for a run in the boat loading/cleaning up about 7pm and watched a 60-70cm turtle cruise around the bridge near the boat ramp pleasure to watch hope the bugger makes it back out safely

LOL sorry for the lead in! went to apple tree bay [bobbin head] tonight planning to walk around to the next bay for a fish! long story short my son didnt bring the light so we stopped for a fish halfway around off a rock let the young fella grab 2 small squire and packed up before it was dark headed back down the track getting dark woah woah woah frikken woah big big blacksnake sitting on the path backup backup this guy was a monster grabbed my kid and backed up the path and sent my mate in to look after it lol 1st attempt: throw 1.5mt log approx 1 mt from target to scare him off Successful in trajectory unfortunately though snake was not bothered Getting darker!!! Attempt 2 : bigger log same reasoning! again trajectory perfect however snake still shows contempt and now im thinking is this a joke[rubber snake] seconds pass then finally snake motions off gives us its impression of a finger and slides down towards the waters/cliff edge run !!! says my mate cmon boy i say lets gtfoh so remember snakes dont necessarily give way i probably will inform parks and wildlife this is only 100mts from the boat ramp and this fella looked very comfy in his/her surroundings So warning big effing snake at apple tree bay and im just damm glad i didnt wait a minute longer to head back or i woulda trod on that monster in the dark cheers

Can anyone give us some pointers to finding where to pump nippers around the brooklyn/mooney mooney/road bridges went off in search of some sand and only seemed to find MUD I know by boat there are plenty of spots but i am looking for an area accessible by foot to gather some bait thanks

yep thats a gurnard i caught one near bobbin head 15 years ago at the time i thought i had a monster flatty when i saw the head/fin shadow pretty as a picture i let him go probably woulda tasted like lobster it seems lol
