A nice day on the water

[pegz]

Yesterday woke up looked out the window and the sun was shinning so told the misses i am take the boat out (no objections). Called a mate to meet me at the ramp.  Got to the ramp and alot of people had the same idea as the carparks were almost full (port kembla ramp).  Hit the water and headed out found the ocean the flattest i when i have been out on it, was able to go full throttle out to flinders island. when i got there i could count 10 boat, so i pulled up and joined the throng and drifted around. With such a beautiful day the fish didn't come to the party with just enough to keep us interested. After a while we moved position and landed the first keeper a red rocky then we moved again to the island off hill 60 ( with the seal colony) bites were slow but another keeper a rubber lips with a few throw back mixed in. then moved back to the northern break wall off the harbor caught a few flatties all under sized then i thought i snagged the bottom but then it started coming up it felt like a clump of weed or something when i got it to the surface i noticed it was upside down which i thought it was the reason of it being lethargic but then it woke up and gave a fight eventually landing it. Then it was time to head home as we had enough exercise for the day
