Hitting the Adelaide Mouth

Broke the drought, sort of at the Adelaide. Mate got a barra, I didn’t. Great trip though, plenty of action in the morning. Bit quiet after the tide changed but got heaps of stuff on baits, all pretty small though. Got some great crabs. And no (new) problems with the boat! Pretty decent trip, given my recent form. Even the road had been graded, haha.

Got:
Me: Lots of small goldies. Two good bucks.
Mate from QLD: 58cm Barra, lost another over 80 easy, kept a 30cm goldie (mostly because it had killed itself swallowing the hook)

Story of the trip:
First thing I did was go to the same place we got that 53cm Barra a few weeks ago. I pointed the branch and said “that is where we got one last time”. So my mate cast, first time, and hooked the 80cm+ fella. He spat the hook, but he looks at me like I a guru and says “well, you called it.” Haha if only he knew what a hack I was 🙂

Boat problems:
Nothing new! The trim was being a bit of a pain, they had fixed it but it was taking a second or two to kick into gear. The lekkie didn’t want to turn left (have nicknamed it Zoolander) but was easy enough to use with magic eye.
