Around Shouten Passage and Wineglass.

Up anchored to pull the pots about 7 am,had a cuppa on the way. Very disappointing result,two blanks apart for the sand sharks.
Motored around to Chain Locker Bay
on the outside of the Island,quite a strong SW berries blowing,put the pots in for a day shot to get them off the deck,got ridiculed for doing so from the crew,they turned out to be right.
Fished for the morning on some Stripie spots I thing Fuggles once told me about,looked to be good bottom but only red faces.Not bad bait.

Back to the Passage after a pleasant lunch in Chainlocker,don’t recon any of the Circ boats would even know about this spot.They were all intent on getting to Wineglass Bay.
Went back through the Passage for another Flathead session got a few.
Baited the pots and set one closer inshore on the mainland side and one on the Island side.

Returned to Bryan’s corner for the night,only one Circ. boat there,Island Star came in just before dark.Just in the bunk and the wind swung to the SE causing a small joggle to remind us as to who was boss.Considered doing the Shouten shuffle and moving to Passage beach but decided to tough it out,by dawn the wind had swung back,it has been doing direction changes the whole trip so far.
