Thanks, I hope I don't get drilled too many times! Shoalwater is where people go to get drilled. Bugatti is where we go to land some fish.

Hopefully, will get some good fish.

Mick, you left it too late to get in although even back a couple of months ago, two vacancies appeared on the week before the one I am going on.

There was never going to be a vacancy next week - it was booked out by Bluewater Perth so mainly sandgropers excepting Malcolm, Chris and myself.

Tough trip, guys. 20 knots plus winds gusting at times up to something crazy at night. On top of that, heavy rain on occasion. Anywhere but Bugatti, we'd have done bugger all fishing.

All of that said, still some great fishing at times and some unforgettable moments like a triple hookup with all three fish landed, a pack of big GTs hunting in the shallows with half their backs out of the water and a huge fish which smashed my popper five feet into the air launching itself completely out of the water in the process.

Will get around to a trip report soon.

In the meantime, heading to the tavern on Hamilton!
