Shell Beach last week
Hi all, Got up to Shell Beach for the first week of the school holidays. Another great getaway as a family, and everyone getting the run around by nice sized Pinks. Had some more great weather for the 7 days, the mornings were a little fresh but by around 10:30/11 am the wind would drop away, making for gentleman hours fishing which suited me fine. I picked up the fish of the trip with a Pink that went 5.27kg but my young fella had me worried on the last day when he got a buck that was just shy of mine coming in at 5.18kg. Got a visit by Fisheries on the 2nd last day which would of been better at the start as I didn't realise that the wings don't count to our 5 kg possession limit. Lucky we had eaten a few while up there but unfortunately had thrown away a few aswell. Anyway here's a few pics.

Yeah no probs at all.
Hilly. The beach is really good for launching. There was a crew at the northern end of the beach launching 2x 6.5 metre platey's and never saw them have to hook a second car on.

Yeah mate.
Fishing at Tamala it is 5 kg of fillets per person, but the fisheries officer told me that the wings aren't counted in as part of the 5kg limit

Good times at the bay.
Can I see Three Bays Island in the background? Great overnight anchoring spot, spent a couple of nights in there.

I like the cave on the east side
wind has eroded the sandstone away so that a pillar supports the whole roof, or so it seems. Fantastic shapes eroded all over on the softer rocks.
