went out on 24th May, same kinda weather with a bit of rain. didn’t catch anything worth writing home about, just a few little guys. but I love being on the water, even when it’s slow. looking forward to better luck next time!

23rd May was a bit rough, patchy rain and gusty winds. we hit the bay but didn’t have much luck. only got one tiny snapper. still, it was nice being out there, even if the fish didn’t wanna play. guess that's fishing!
17th May, was partly cloudy and a bit chilly but still went out with dad. didn’t catch much tho, only a couple of baby kahawai. tried different lures but they weren't biting. at least we had hot coffee to keep us warm while we waited
12th May was cold and overcast, but we still hit the bay. managed to catch a couple of small snapper, nothing big but we had fun. brought my new rod out, a soft action one, felt real nice casting. started to get chilly tho so we packed it in early
out on the water 1st May. wow, heavy rain came down! we got soaked but the fish were biting. landed 3 good sized trevally, best one was at 6 lbs. using my trusty old popper worked like a charm! even the crazy weather couldn’t stop us
