Manton Last Night

Post by Blinky »

Did the run out to Manton last night, in another attempt to confirm that five days before the full moon is the go. Quite a few others were thinking along the same lines as well. Ended up being a pretty uneventful night except for the one little rat trolled up from a very fishy looking ridge.

Tried trolling all the usual haunts for a few halfhearted smacks, tossed Nightwalkers around the rocks for a while for nothing. There was a bit of surface action……no full-on boofs, just a bit of movement, I don’t think it was Barra.

The water is down about a metre on it’s usual level I guess, the water release isn’t really noticeable, I was expecting to see a big difference.

Although it was another unproductive trip it was good to have a night out with the Missus and youngest bloke……..beats the hell out of coach-potatoing!

If you do venture out to Manton just be careful of boats ripping around with no lights (not even a torch on) and others that persist in having their spotties on all the time; really good for the night vision of others fellas!
