Sorry guys would love to head out there with yas but i just cant tear myself away from the city. Max is right it takes me 2hrs towing there, then 1 1/2 hrs boating if its a little choppy. But buy jessus its worth it at the moment. I spent around 100hrs getting the first fish in the boat and to date after 2 trips ive landed 8 for 22hrs trolling
give or take and hour or 2. That dosent include the 3 fish on the first trip the deckie landed. My best day in broome saw me land 3 fish in 10hrs, so it looks like i might have to move down to dundee and become a hermit for a while.

Pretty sure its the same people... they have told me about you....
They went to the south with me a week or so before they went with you... Only our trip was successful
.. They told me when they went with you it was to high up on the floodplains? when we went biggest for the 3 hour sesh was 95 (caught by me).. Millsy got and 80...heaps of 70s.... Yet frank fail to catch a fish... he was p...ed...

might start at Fenton and head to Nth Gutter Harmsey, if we spread out a bit maybe we can find some bait which sometimes doesnt come up in the water column until after tide change which is 9.40 Sat.,I spoke to a bloke I know (Tim) who was out there with Millsy last weekend and seen only a few schools of bait but better tides this weekend

Hey harmesy bit cheeky I know seeing as we dont know each other but are you still after a crew?
I was really keen to head out to sail city way on saturday with a sleep over at blaze but every single one of the 7 blokes (including jabsy) I asked yesterday cant make it - V8's / kid responsibilities / work etc so with no crew i'm stuck......and the missus has given me the green light - doh!
Have the teaser, lures and some skippin gars ready to go.
By the way Max I reckon it will be better than 15's - have a look at the forecast - a nice low heading into the bight on Friday - again!

7 blokes?? I hope I was the first on that list!!! I'll be right by the 11/12 July...
I can always console you with a ticket to the V8's if you need to drown your no-fish sorrows.

Jabsy - yep you and dodgy knot were the first - although with you its always a long shot
News just in I'm now crewing for another bloke - heading off dundee on saturday (along with half of darwin it seems)...
So Harmesy - was a tad premature this time - although i would be keen in the future for a trip if you need crew another time - my mate (guy) who lives across the road from you reckons your new machine is awesome...
And Max / Harmesy - was just down talking with george and ronald - apparantly westy was out fenton wide way yesterday and didnt see any billies at all......
Good luck all.
