Took the hoses off the engine and blew through , took a bit but then bubbles from below. Hoses back on Restart engine and water all good again . back to the fishing and got four more keepers to 56 cm and a couple of smaller throw backs. was checked by the fisheries on the beach and he was surprised by the size of the fish , and got a new measuring sticker for the tinny as well.
