Had a coupe of early morning sessions off the rocks at Lizard Bay, a walk over the hill from Opito at the northern end of BOI. Only small snapper.
Bought a boat on the weekend, Stabi 1550 fisher, a little big boat , ideal for solo missions or one other person. The wife and I went out this morning as the wind was 5knt variable, I decided to make the 45m trip each way across the bay to Bird Rock which is about half a km from hole in the rock. It shelves up from 70m to about 30m near the Bird, lots of schools of trevally and maomao and of course kingis. We had about 8 drifts before heading in with 6 snapper, all pannies except for a 7kg model and a decent trev which we have just consumed as sashimi. Excellent day, snapper in beer batter tonight, I'm the cook as usual and a fridge full of coronas.
Shame there is no football on.
