That is a fine fish young fella, any fisho would be proud to catch that one. Frank

Not a lot to report unfortunately. Arrived 10am Friday and the weather was on the turn, by 12 noon it was blowing 40 knots by 2pm the rain had joined the wind and it was coming in sideways straight across the lake which was churning it to a state where a surf board was more appropriate than a fishing line. The rain only lasted about 1 hour but the wind was relentless and lasted well into the night, I didn't even bother to pitch the tent, just slept in the back of the wagon. Saturday morning the wind had slowed down to about 10-15 knots, there was still whitecaps in the lake but it was settling down. By 4pm it was calm enough to launch the boat and go fishing. Might as well kept the boat on the trailer, by 6.30 the wind was up again about 25 knots and that was it for me, slowly pushed back to the camp site and prepared tea. Didn't bother going out again, put the boat back on the trailer and headed home. All in all I will remain doing this trip as the company is worth it. Just might leave the boat home next time and just sit back and enjoy the view. Frank

This week end coming in case anyone will be in the area, I will be camped down by the water at Gindigah Bay, driving red Commodore wagon. Come and say HI. Frank

I will probably join you lot this year and get to meet some of you. I am going up for the week end of 17th 18th and 19 June on a houseboat with some friends so maybe able to post a report if anything about or not. I fish for Hairtail every year for the past 40 odd years the past 11 years in Houseboat before that I would freeze in an open boat, sometimes lucky sometimes not. Hope this year is a good as last year was. Frank

There are huge Travelly haunting Bermagui harbour at the moment, you probably don't want to travel that far but IF they are there they are at other similar locations closer. Frank
