Christmas Presents Sorted
After some delays, family eventually got off to Perth on Friday night for Christmas leaving me to bach it for the weekend before driving back down later this week.... Early start Saturday morning but nothing stupid, boats galore at the servo and on the roads with the forecast looking reasonable, however I left the boat at home for a landbased mission.
Had a great morning off the beach with another horse Bluebone, a nice estuary cod and a couple of emperor.... Undersized bluebone were a bit of pain! I threw in the towel after the bluebone as I had to treck out close to 1.5km and didn't think I could carry much more. Home before 9am and the wind wasn't great in the end so glad I didn't opt to head out on the boat.
Had another bash for an hour in the arvo and scored another good estuary cod.... Funnily enough, hadn't caught/eaten one until the weekend prior from the Marina and really rated it on the chew so very happy to snag a few more. Took it easy on Sunday and cruised down to Learmonth and cleaned up on the whiting. Super fun sight casting the bigger models on my daughters $20 kmart rod in ankle deep water 2m from the shore.
Some decent fillets packed for the freezer to distribute to the Family over Christmas this weekend.

Cheers
Cheers! I've really got a preference for land based fishing up here at the moment comparatively to my boat record up here.... don't usually have a problem finding fish but getting them past the sharks is another story!! Very comfortable with a few land based spots now in different wind directions which have turned up some solid fish for me at much less effort than boating solo. Learning something new every time I get out.

I've never had a lot of
I've never had a lot of success in Exmouth landbased. Haven't really put the time in but from what I've heard you have to do that but the rewards are worth it.
