Hi Hookers,

Left MG at 5.30am this morning headed for Jew Shoal. The wind was out of the SW blowing about 5kn when I left, but upon arrival at JS, it was blowing at least 15 knots.

Very difficult to fish with the wind and the current even with the drogue out although I managed to pick up 2 snapper at 46 and 64cm. I had 1 other hit.

Had a chat with another yakker out there, he was trolling hard bodies and had had 1 strike while he was there.

He was an american in a red Mission kayak with no radio and no PFD. He went in pretty early due to the wind.
We were the only 2 out there.

Was a swine of a paddle back into the SWer and there was also a few cracking waves to contend with as well on the landing.

As usual, if you time it right you'll have no problems.

I also took a ripper sunrise shot this morning half way to JS.

Cheers, Jeff. (Richmond)
