Report:
There was a bit of surf running and things looked really promising, first hour was slow with a lot of weed being thrown up on the beach. It soon settled and we where getting bites, plenty of small turbot being caught and flounder to around 35 cms. We fished right up to the high water and dark, 2 small coalie just as darkness fell. All fish were returned to fight another day. This was the first time we fished this beach and probably wont be the last.
Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.
glad to hear you got you turbots, that beach can throw up some thumper turbo's and flounders at times. so hopefully on your next trip they will be a bit bigger, well done guys
