The track into Keswick was wet and made for a very slow trip, although there were no real issues with a bit of care over a number of small washouts on the main dirt road.
On arrival to Keswick the storms had passed and it was calm between passing squalls. I wandered around for a bit and ended up an inlet to get away from a small storm, there were small fish chasing jelly prawns along the bank and while they were easily spooked, switching off the motor and drifting along the bank in about a metre of water seemed to work.
Casting a small soft plastics resulted in a couple of small bream and trevally.
At the start of the incoming the barra came on and I managed to land 3 around 65cm
and a nice salmon. I ended up leaving while they were still biting as the wind was coming up making for a choppy ride home and a mongrel time recovering the boat solo with a following sea.
All up a worthwhile trip, the weather was cool and only a couple of passing storms to keep me on my toes.
Cheers and have a great New Year.
