A BIT MORE ON BYNOE

It was good to see the numbers of barra in spots where they had been pretty sparse in the past.  We fished with Pete O'Sullivan and his daughter Peta for a few days.   Also ran into Graeme Williams and Dave (His client) who had had a good time on the barra and threadies.

 The water was a bit cloudy from the rain and you could only see the barra right up on the edge or when you disturbed a big one on the flats and it took off. Dave even hooked one at the back of Knife on the mid tide while we were into a group of big queenies feeding on bait balls.

  Best of the barra was in the 70's, and Pete made the best of one of them, cooking it up for his daughter for lunch one day then a jack freshly caught the next day.  Something he picked up from fishing with Lenny, don't take lunch,  catch it (or starve?).  We dined on gourmet cheese and crackers !!

Guess what's for lunch

This one got released, I had to have cheese and crackers

It was really hot out there on Wednesday, that's why the bimini's are up.  Some really good fishing out there with what appears to be a lot more bigger fish, so the year ahead is looking pretty good.

Cathie managed to tag a heap of snapper too, so if you catch a snapper with a tag in it, let the Fisheries know for their surveys.

PS.  The Anzac Day service at Sand Palms was very moving and wonderful to see so many ex and serving members of the ADF there. A huge thanks to Julie and Tommy for putting on such a magnificent day for everyone.
