Adelaide – Salty Arm for the first time

Wanted to go jewfish hunting at leeders but Mud suggested barra chasing at the Adelaide. I never have much success but agreed to it. Not much success! The electric motor got fried a couple of hours in which hindered us. Was just getting out in the bluewater when the wind got picked up and had to come back. Put the pots in for nothing, again.

Got:
Me: One decent cod
Mud: 53cm barra & a large shark. Could stretch the barra to 54 lol but not 55. 🙁

Story of the trip:
Not sure really. Helped a guy with a large boat retrieve his as he had snapped his Achilles when he got off the boat. Fishing by yourself is scary. He still had to drive about 2 hours home.

Boat problems:
At first the electric motor wouldn’t turn, but would go. Then power cut out all together. Hope I don’t need a new one, I use it about every trip, hard to be without for the fishing I do.

Snap
53cm barra caught in morning… half assed photo as I was sure we’d get something better to photograph later in the day:
