No worries matey, upsetting crabby oldies is one of my specialties.

Seacliff reef this morning - Whiting, Leatherjackets, Garfish in plague numbers, BIG schools of Slimy Mackerel. Came away with a nice supply of slimies for beach fishing and a couple whiting at 35 and 36cm. Learnt a big thing, dont berley up the bottom straight away. When i got to my mark first thing i did was drop the berley pot over the side. Got 3 whiting, one undersize and the two keepers in the first 15 minutes then it was nothing but leatherjackets the rest of the morning. Wasnt prepared for gar or slimies but i managed to take about a dozen slimies on size 4 hooks and even foul hooked a gar. The garfish situation is ridiculous, they are everywhere. Hopefully this is a sign of what tomorrow will hold. Also chucked a livie out on some wire, no takers. No sign of any snapper either :(.
Cheers, Jon.

As in could be a concern tomorrow? If so dont worry about it, all green lights down here for now. If it is a concern in the morning we can always scrap the deeper spots and hit a spot close to shore. Dont really feel like paddling for 45 minutes to think "yeah, chops a lot worse out here, best if we turn around". I'm needing another whiting fix already, they're about as addictive as smokes i reckon.

Have kayak, will fish. I honestly think we'll be right for offshore though. I better get to bed, I have to get up as early as you blokes tomorrow :roll:. See you boys out there bright and early.
