Oscar Norris’s crab pot was flattened at the front of Wilshire 3—likely by a 4m+ croc spotted in the area. Some nice barra were landed, so they still had a good day 😊..
Just a reminder to stay croc-wise everyone! Use a gaff to get your floats, and avoid leaning over the side of your boat.

Make sure you're registered before your next trip.Good luck everyone!

On the big tides, the water can rush in & out a lot faster than the charts show... so COME MUCH EARLIER if launching or retrieving on OUTGOING SPRING TIDES.

Several fishos turned up to launch on this arvo’s outgoing tide… finding less water than they expected. Some made it out on the water, but 2 came a bit late, and headed home without fishing :-(
Example photo of today's outgoing tide..

Matt stayed for a bit on his latest adventure. He broke-in his new brag mat with a Salmon... then followed it up with a couple of Barra, Snapper, Queenfish and Mudcrab. We're glad you enjoyed your stay Matt, and wish you much fun and great fishing on the rest of your travels.

Hats off to 1717 Incorporated for sponsoring this event and helping kids get out on the water!!!
It was lovely to meet you all and learn about your organisation. It was also heartwarming to hear from Caleb and the other kids as they headed home this morning. There were a lot of smiles and stories about their adventures. I’m pretty sure some very happy core memories were made this weekend.
