Nick:-The wind was up a little this morning, we headed out to the shoals that produced some good numbers for us yesterday. They unfortunately weren't on fire like the day before Dave did however manage to land four fish this morning before 9:30 which was great. We fished blue holes for the rest of the afternoon taking us up till lunch and by this stage Dave had landed all 6 fish to the boat! After lunch things started to slow down a little but we kept on hunting and we managed to pick a couple off here and there. Stuart and Bernard managed to get the monkey off their back after lunch which was great for the boat and then skipping from hole to hole at the end of the day Bernard managed to pull another one out of a blue hole just before the close of play.

Peter:   Today the wind was a little stronger then yesterday. The plan was
to fish some shoals out of the anchorage reef. We managed to pick up 3 GTs and a few Spanish early in the piece which made a great start to the day. The rest of the day was spent fishing drains and blue holes. We managed to get another 2 GTs and raised a lot more and unfortunately sacrificed some lures to some rather large GTs in the process. It was a tough day out there today the GTs seem to have lock jaw and really made us work for our rewards. All in all great weather and a steady day's fishing.

John Dory: Today with Brandon, Allan and Marcio onboard we headed to the outside shoals to round up some GT, fishing was steady with all onboard catching a fish each to start proceedings, after a short run to a little blue hole Marcio had an awesome take on a pencil from a fish which did its best to tangle us around the bombies, after a short but brutal tustle a 30kg fish made its way to the boat for a quick happy snap. After this we were putting across the shallows back to the channel when we spotted some big fish cruising the shallows Brandon cast his stickbait about 5m in front of them and then it was a race as fish materialized from everywhere to try eat his lure the biggest fish which we called well over 40kg ate his lure only to have some smaller models knock the lure out of his mouth no fish but awesome sight just the same, after this we fished some blue holes and had some big fish hook up but no luck in landing them, for a tough days fishing there were definitely some highlights today.
