Wind doesn't scare brave footballers

Monday, 7th August 2006

20 - 25 knots in the afternoon - Fished off Oyster Reef and Michaelmas Cay

A group of local footballers braved the winds and set out in search of fish today.

The morning started out alright but still was a little rough. They did well and braved the conditions. By lunch time the winds were up and Troy needed to find shelter behind the reef to get them through.

This gave the anglers a chance to hook up on a few nice Coral Trout. Heading home through the rough seas I think they were glad to step foot on land again.

Catch of the day being
* 3 Coral Trout
* 1 Scaley Mackeral
* 1 Spanich Mackeral - nice fish at 12kgs

Well done fellas
