Well done lads. Thumbs Up
We spent Friday/ Saturday mowing the lawns in the same areas for NADA!
We could hear all the action on the radio and couldn't get a look in.
Next weekend will be our turn....
Stand up to be seen, speak up to be heard. BUT shut up to be appreciated.

Got these three fish Friday/Saturday. First Blue for the boat from NE Aldies in about 160M and the two stripies were in 160m and 120m between Aldies and Mercs. Angry Squid, Fruit Salad and Black and Purple colours. Went 7-3-3 with lots of bait around, skippies and a few albies.

Try 36-31-040  176-13-100 area - it's a bit NE of the Hook but we had two stripeys in that general area in two days earlier in the week - caught one and broke a hook on the other.

See you updated yr post Bite - Ammo dump is clearly marked on yr chart but it's a bloody big area.
