Trip over was not too bad - bit of a bumpy ride which slowed us a down a bit but was no drama - found 2 other boats already sitting right at the cape - i was first in from leeders so they may have been out overnight or come from darwin??
Fished the b spot from page 122 and just out in front of the cape itself and cleaned up on BIG blue salmon and some nice goldies - ended up catching about 30 salmon i reckon in varying sizes but there were some very good ones amongst them. Son Jordan seemed to be the one with the touch - he caught pretty much all of the goldies - best was a nice 50cm specimen. he didnt catch a shark all day either but Kyle and i got thumped by them all the time. It was funny really we would hook and land a heap of good ones then get smashed by sharks and loose all the gear then we were back into the good fish again. Awesome day - pretty much fishing action all day - really sparked on the turn of the tide around lunch time then it was running too much and we had to head home.
Some of the sharks were real thumpers and they get the heart running when you think it could be a jewie!! Kept a feed of salmon and goldies for the fridge - rest went back for the future. Despite loosing heaps of hooks we had one our better days on the blue water.
Trip back was great with the wind and tide together - imagine it would get real unpleansant out there if things turned tot he brown stuff but it was great today.
Road is OK - holding up alright - it is after all a dirt road but i thought it was ok.

Good to see you and the young fellows getting into it.
