Yes I have been sick and tired of the Wind during the day lately seriously considering sitting out on the reef at night-time

Shot back out yesterday to 8 Mile - waste of fuel :-( only got gurnards and Sgt Bakers. Mrs E got a cod which went back. Then tried 6 Mile- more #&$@&%$ Gurnards....so we came in. A few silver wiring for next trip’s bait and that was it.

Good post. If this wind drops off we will be out there tomorrow (Wed 18th). Usually stick to the 6 mile but my venture out further. I don't mind the Bernard the Gurnards as they are nice eating once you peel them. BTW, if you aren't aware, if you get stuck with a spike, hot water (as hot as you can stand) will relieve the pain.

I have been stuck by bull eye gurnard many times. In my Danish seine commercial fishing days it was one of the common hazards. The things we found were. If you wear gloves, even though the spines go through , it reduces the slime and the effect is 90% less. If you do get one. Hot water and take a good look to see if the spine broke off in your hand. If it did get it out, even if it hurts like hell. The really bad cases often have a piece of spine in there.

Well, made it back off shore at Lakes today. Cracking weather after a pretty chilly pre-dawn run up the highway with the dash showing -1c for a lot of the journey.

Arrived in time for sunrise at Newlands, put in and cruised to the Entrance. Headed straight to 8 Mile past 8 or so boats near 6 mile. Had the reef to ourselves and was soon onto a good patch of pinkies.

Ended up with a dozen pinkies, a good sized flatty and a decent Ling. My other half landed a unknown fish which we released, later to find it was a silver dory and pretty good eating by all accounts.

Headed in shallower to try for a gummy but no luck. Lunch at the Barrier and back to Newlands to throw the boat on the trailer and head home.
