Hi All,

Went for a fish at JS launching around 9am (late for me, discovered the expected solar panels not coming till next Wednesday). Really hard to find a park. Caught a 70cm spotty mac over the pin on HB on arrival as well as 3 keeper snapper and 2 nice sweetlip. Threw back about 8 small snapper and sweetlip.

Also hooked a turtle on squid which was a bit of fun getting the hook out.

Saw short lived surface boils at JS and managed to lose a pilly to one that happened close by, thinking more spotties. The headland had birds working for an hour as well.

Had a whale and calf heading straight for me, and when I had visions of being tipped out, whales about 50mt away, I tapped the side of yak and watched them put on brakes, dive and pop up in the opposite direction.
