Bugatti - Drive Out Special (Take 2)

[Warwick Joyce]

Hi Jay, Not sure about the difference in the drive out vs fly out. We pretty much fished for 5 days, the first started about 1.5hrs late and the last day finished 1hr early. This was for the crew to unpack and pack up.
I think you get 6 days fishing with the fly out?? and your baggage weight is limited.
The drive out is limited to a few destinations as well.

I would definitly do it again thats for sure.

Tara (the hostess) made it enjoyable feeding us all drinks on the journey

I think we steamed for around 10hrs on the way out, it was quite good because of the weather. The way back was a bit more rough, near mackay it was a bit over 25 knots and a bit of swell. I thought i was going to be airborne off my bunk at about 2am
All in all it was fine driving in and out.

As opposed to me who had a few extra rums and thought the trip back in was really pretty smooth (fast asleep) 

Couldn't fault the drive out, we did jag some decent weather though.  The fishing time really wasn't impeded and it was a good chance to get to meet everyone, I enjoyed it.  Like any fishing it's fairly weather dependant, having to drive out just makes it a little more so - i'd do it again. 

Looks like the GT's were pretty hard on the lures.....even the top quality ones can't stand up to GT punishment forever, hey?

Yeah that's true Angus, they are perishable items though.  Plus I think it was the Spaniards that inflicted a lot of the damage.  The big gash in my ebipop was caused by a massive couta - it is nearly bitten clean in half!
