Marrawah to Sandy Cape

Had breakfast and trolled around the Point as close as seemed safe,about a three to four meter SW swell running ,a light NE breeze behind us.Sun out.
Motored along at 8 knots enjoying the points of interest about three quarters of a mile offshore.The large ocean swells build up and eventually break well before the beach all the way down here.
Went in a little closer at Temma Harbour.
It would be a game skipper to go in there today ,the seas breaking right across the entrance.A large fishing boat moored in behind a natural breakwater.
Cruised the last half getting there at 2 for a late lunch.Quite flat anchored offshore in 4 to 5 meters of water.
Crew put the net in and pulled for a couple of kelpies ,baited the pots with some flathead frames and two small couta.
Went out at about five to set them well out there being extensive bottom here.Spent some time getting the best set as things getting desperate now.
Skipper made comment,I will eat my hat if we do not get any tonight.Found two spots,one deep and one shallow.Not much tide here,we're not shure about the sea lice though.



 
Returned to the anchorage,one of Hurseys red fishing boats had joined us.
A beautiful evening,watched the sun go down and had dinner.Turned in about ten.
