Cheers to John for organizing the fantastic trip. A great bunch of guys on board who had a ball. Also a big thumbs up to Lance and crew who certainly know their stuff. There were a few Personal bests achieved but I reckon some of us also experienced our biggest "smoking" as well - Never seen so many happy faces  turn to sad faces so quickly I just love that Stella, fantastic drag and they sure sound good at full noise! |

I've been wondering when this report would appear. Looks like a great trip, some very solid fish in there and looks like the action was fairly consistent, nothing but smiles on everyones faces and loads of bent rods, The crew obviously knows what they're doing and the boat well capable, the only problem is... ..how the heck am I going to convince Luey and Alan to get balls deep in west coast surf with me to surfcast for measly old ky, snapper, trevs and gurnards?  They'll be ruined for life! |
