Phil and I decided to stay within the confines of the harbour and ended very happy that we did.
Started our day around the back of the islands on a flat calm sea. We were instantly into checker bass along with guilt Head Bream, snotty eel, Smooth hound, Dogfish, spider crab with nonstop action. We decided on a move that produced a slightly larger bass for Phill of 2lb 2oz, his largest of the day. A final move up to the Marine camp saw us yet again into copious amounts of even smaller checker bass but I did manage one slightly larger at 2lb 6oz
I unusually enjoyed our confinement to the harbour. We were never going to win the comp but enjoyed a most pleasant and busy day
Well that didn't go according to plan!!
We decided to fish the harbour entrance, We fished with lures and had a few Bass of no great size. Best went to me at 1lb 8oz

Isn't it kind of the same thing? 😒
Terry.
My brother could not make the trip, so I did not return a catch report. I did have a small 2lb bass whilst sitting at anchor.
Also, happy to report a good-sized blonde ray up our end of the bay which is nice to see.
Wendy and I had a late night on Saturday, so my permission was withdrawn😜. Lol
We had 42 bass in total, so a good day but couldn’t find any decent sizes.
Gary W 3lb 10oz
Kev Couzens 3lb 8oz all others between these and 2 1/2lb.
Good sport for the day and weather turned out great. 👍
Sorry for the delay.
Bass Competition Results
1 Rob Francis 4lbs 4oz

Well done all those who managed to take part.
The next Comp is Cod and Whiting 12th and 13th November
Whoop whoop, nearly didn't weigh it!
Stunning in a Thai style curry/stir-fry.
