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 :mrgreen: 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. :rofl:

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

Gday Gents

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!
If we all focussed on the important things in life there would always be a long queue at the ramp!

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 :rofl:

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.
