Portland
Went one my now annual camping trip to Portland between Christmas and New Years.
Water was a bit cold still for kings although there had been some sporadic reports, and I've recently sold and haven't yet replaced the kayak I had that was suited for big trips out wide - as such my chances of getting any kings or tuna were fairly minimal but slightly higher than if I'd stayed at home.
Highlights - catching lots of fish, successfully trying out a couple of new techniques, getting away from home for a while
Lowlights - losing a collapsible bucket, landing net and floating aerator over the side of the yak, no kings or tuna, fuckwits at the campsite partying until 3am
The squid were all a bit big for the improvised livewell
Aerated squid goop
Breaming for sambos
Breaming for pike
Breaming for wrasse
Squidding for squid
Eating the bait
The results of getting fisted by the sun three days in a row

Re: Portland
It's a fake GoPro, it does essentially the same thing though

Re: Portland
It's a Kaiser Baas X250.
I can't see it here but there's a few that I guess are similar: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/collections/c ... as-cameras
It was about $80 from memory

Re: Portland
Yeah it's not bad, it can make the horizon look a bit funny at times but otherwise I'm quite happy with it.
Some of those photos were taken with the iPhone, the camera in it is a bit ****** though so some of them are a bit out of focus.
All the pictures from the fake GoPro have the date and time at the bottom of the image:
