When the to Werribee this arvo ...wish I had stayed home.
Nearly everything that could go wrong did....
To sum it up , I launched the boat 2 times and still did not get to fish...fml

Never seen so many trailers....
That would have been extremely frustrating!!
Boat didnt start?

The Good weather got the better of me and i decided id give the boat a run.
plague of micro pinkies and some red mullet came onboard.
there were so many boats out it was madness.

no salmon was to be fund, but some kayakers at the ramp had some medium sized ones in their bag, so the fish were around there somewhere.
Hooked up boat n dog had bitten trailer light connection of, rewired all good.
Launch boat ,motor started n stop ,then flat battery.
Got new battery,n 3/4 new fuel and re launch n boat was running like ****.(will drain all petrol n refuell)
Took boat ou hit gutter and axel moved..
Use winch to straighten axel n winch rope broke,
Fixed axel n low beams in car will not work.
High beam all way home
Bimini pole also broken...
Sorry to hear bowl, seems like a litany of errors , , , , hard to shake those off once they start.
Hope you're on the water better, brighter and better soon

Yes, I said better twice , , , , sounds like you could do with a bit more luck than just one "better"

Cheers, Better Bug

I went for a walk down around Williamstown this afternoon and i could not believe how many boats were out. There would have easily been 50 boats in the 2 or so kilometre section between Willy beach and Point Gellibrand. And the boats at Point Gellibrand would have been within casting distance of the rock wall. They were almost parked on top of each other.

I took this, looking back towards Willy beach from the football oval. But most of the boats were back the other way.

Hi Steve,
A few hours earlier I was heading back to willi beach from pt geiiibrand and just before the beach there was a big bust up of salmon. Big ones to, after being out Friday, Saturday and Sunday for a ok feed of flathead it was exciting to get onto fighting aust salmon. As the slight wind was from the south, boats had to keep an eye out for drifting into the rocks while fighting a fish.
Let’s hope we get a few more days to fish before winter closes in.
