Was asked to go down to Urradurra last tersday but had tings tu do
Was however free on Flyday so arranged to tow wittle goat in the morn & pick up a passenger then head down to Batman & Robins Bay. Left Sydney bright & early friday morn around 10 am  got to Urradurra around 1.30 pm & after a quick fuel stop we were on our melly way once more.Boys had gone for a fush that morn on Lake Conjola & did ok bream to 35 cm's , flathead & a few other fishy's as well & that's good for them as not worlds best fisho's but they had a local take them out in his tinny. Booked into motel & unhooked the goat @ BB by this time I was starvating hadn't eaten all day some morton bay bugs & a nice array of seafood quickly filled that hole, beatifull arvo with not a breathe of wind should've gone out in the goat but couldn't be bothered esp as the day was ending & I didn't have a clue where to go fish. Picked up a map from maritine to sus out where santuaries were, also had a look @ water depths [bottom grids] of the area b4 I left home pretty shallow place I must say. Went for a walk to wharf across the road water was clean & could see brimski's doing swimies down below so went & grabed a flick stick & a few SP's had a bit of fun there for an hour. Then went for a drive to check out the goat ramps opted to use the wun out near the breakwall in the morn went for walkies on the breakwall a few peeps fushing but not catching was amused by the big rays patrolling the breakwall & wated them doing their U turns, also spotted an array of boats out there fushing getting late by now & they started coming in so waited to see wot they'd caught & to try & get a bit of local knowledge. GooDarus nights sleep & I was up b4 the sparrows started their far tings, punched co-ords into gps of the map I'd gotten the day b4 so as I had sum idea where the santuaries started [ bloody big joke these fish santuries esp in towns like this cant do a great deal of good for their tourist months with peeps getting put off by them] Anyways went sth & picked a wittle point to start fushing started getting hookups with velly 1st cast got evllyting from kungs, samson fushies, brimski's , snapper, bonito, salmon, etc etc there Paul is definatly not a lure person so he used a bait rod, tired of this spot after an hr only because of the slimmy mackeral they were huge sum would've gone close to a kilo they were evllywhere & stated getting to be a pain in the butt. So saw a bommy about a mile away & decideds to go try there sa,me deal & fish as the first spot but did nail a nice bream on lure 38 cm's, kungs were darting around the back of the boat eating the cubes thrown in got a few more of them. Saw a few boats out wider so decided to go have a looky didn't stay there to long with nothing coming up on the sounder & headed further sth to a point in the coastline twas sum natives in canoes with a paddle fushing 400 meters off the point & thought they'd have to have sum idea 1/2 hr later still nut ting nor was anywun else so snuck in a bit closer to the coast. GooDarus move cause we found snappa's along with those bloody slimmys again, oh well did stock up on slimmy fillets Not a day I was pulling the camera out @ all as there was generally to much going on & none of the fush were of any real size none of the kungs made legal but I did get done by wun that looked the goods got an epsy of it near the boat then he went down. Samson & Delilah  Sammy Snappa's  Had to pull the camera out to take a pic of a pike of all fush get a load of this thing I'd never seen wun this big b4

Water temp must've dropped from last saturday
Got 21.5 deg in the morn & as it does rises in arvo due to sun warming the surface just over 22 deg Yep know where ewe fushed that's where the yaks were on sat, we did no good in the deeper water where ewe were nor was anybody else so I came into 17 meters & that's where we started hitting the snapper & that big pike. Started out fushing spot 1 on map below kungs, salmon, bonito, bream, those Almaco Jacks, & bloody heaps of slimys spot 2 those protruding rocks kungs,bream, salmon, tailer & bloody heaps of slimys

I use the hand winch to loosen and tigten the cable , not worth getting the batery out for that. Might have to check to see if it still works one day -------------------- insanity takes it's toll, I make sure I have plenty of spare change

I have a prog on my pc which gives me that deail But I also have it on my GPS's the Furuno on my big goat will give me that detail it's a 10 inch screen The raymarine does not give that detail it uses a navtronics card which I dont think is as good as the C-Map in the furuno If I'm anticipating fishing a new area that I have no idea about I'll sit in front of the pc the night B4 & sus out where I think the fishy's will be , that's wot I did B4 heading down your way -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

I use a humingbird & it uses navionics. Then it has a Sd card slot that I can save data to as well as update the unit. Once i save the waypoints I can use huminingbird pc and then open with Google maps. Its great in showing me a time line & can make notes just like a diary, but doesnt have depths. For depths I use Bonzel http://maps.bonzle.com/c/a?a=p&x=150.2...05&fc=1#map -------------------- insanity takes it's toll, I make sure I have plenty of spare change
