Monday Nye Bay to Bramble Cove

Woke up to thick sea fog.Had breakfast first before pulling the pots.No Point mucking about around reefs with no visibility.
The sun soon burnt it off so we got under way.One pot was a blank and one had four size in it.
Heard the fishermen complaining about the same thing,some blanks on good bottom,along with the low price they were not happy..We considered it a good result,I think they are spoilt around here.

Decided to go fishing for the day out wide.Morrie Wolf took the Gourmet Farmers out here somewhere when I did that trip,I did not know where but decided to have a go myself.We had a good day pottering around about six miles off but only landed a Perch and one Stripie.

Wound up the lines and headed for Brambles for the onshore BBQ.Stopped off at the Spain Bay Reef to set the pots.
Arrived at the event a little late for the cricket match as all my crew now too old to run.
Just as we arrived theTas Air twin engine aircraft was doing circuits over an incredible sight,over 40 boats anchored in Bramble Cove,surely a record.The plane did a couple of circuits flying  low as possible,going low through the gap in the hills ,itself an impressive sight.


40 boats in Brambles.Impressive drop back.


Some boats in Brambles,an impressive sight!
 
 
Anchored behind the fleet and got our things ready to go ashore,the tide being low there was plenty of beach for everyone.Had a pleasant evening catching up with news of other crews trip. .Half the fleet had been in Davey for a week so we're off in the morning.
Got back to the boat about dark.Turned in at 9.30.


Fog in Nye Bay.
