Perfect conditions @ Vernons sat night
Well took some fifo boys and a lad who's just got a boat from work out for a fish last night, headed to leaders creek with 2 boats. Got there a bit earlier than other boat so had a troll at mouth for a bit until others turned up, with no success.
It was around 6pm by the time others rocked up so we headed out towards vernons.... and it was a bl..dy ruff trip, wind was howling, choppy, not fun at all but I was confident storm would pass and we would be right.
Got to a spot and dropped anchor, lines in, BANG!!! Fish on as soon as we hit the bottom . Smiles all rnd from boys who hadnt fished liked this before always good to see the excitement of others getting there first fish. Goldies were 35-50cm and jewies where 80-90cm. Was surprised that sharks left us alone only couple of reefies, by 8pm it was a glass off not a breathe of wind perfect conditions, stayed out for a while sunk a few cold ones and headed home with our bag limits. Was great night out, glad I made the choice to give it a crack with the weather being the way it has been.

That is a sign of how bad the wet season has been. Usually at this time of year all you can catch there is Powertail.
Nice effort on braving conditions.

If there is water and it holds fish, then it is fun trying to fool them into eating what you offer!!
Especially when you can see them!
