Will make up my mind about time and launch spot when I see what conditions are like.

I would be interested in another trip launching from Shoal Bay and camping on the island for 2 nights. But want to wait until the weather starts to warm up a bit. If I can find a buyer for my AI, I will be upgrading to a TI so that I have some extra space to take gear with me on trips such as this.

broughton is a nice place to get away from everything however. No mobile phone reception (except on top of the hill) and no one bothering me for a few days.

Couldn't be arsed posting a trip report this time.

Went to seals, a few odd reefs, a few snapper, but nothing in your league, most pan sized with my biggest about 60cm, but all on SPs. Lots of people pulled out, very upsetting so many soft people on the fishing scene - makes me think there will be some kayaks up for sale soon and a bigger demand for stink boats lol
