Weell the plan is to launch tomorrow morning at Mornington.

Been busy adding 60lb leader to the trolling rods with braid. So we will see what happens. To be honest I am not expecting much, it is more an exercise to practise. We use to troll for trout and murray cod all the time.

So it is a matter of re rigging and having a go. Even if the kingies are not present, it would be nice to get some salmon action.

But then maybe a squid or two might save the day.
