Bait fishing and BBQ day.

Had breakfast and as the weather had moderated a bit decided to have a look outside and fish for some bait.The wise people had frozen bait but my freezer is not big enough to have both,we had seven crays in there and needed a few more to get our quota.
Out behind Breaksea Island and there was still a big sea on,went over towards Spain Bay and the shelter of the shore there.
Had a few downers on rough bottom but to no avail,not even a bite!
Went over under the shelter of Swainson Island at the entrance of Port Davey,still no result,Might go to Norman Cove on the way back in but the sea was curling in there so gave it away,so no bait,the pots looking a bit doubtful tonight.

Anchored under Breaksea for morning tea.
The BBQ in Brambles was a midday start so the International Cricket match could be held before the tide came in.
We arrived to see a few boats there and some ashore so got organized and took our RYCT barbecue in and set it up.
The rest of the boats trickled in over the next few hours and things got going.A few energetic people had a game of tip and run but the testmatch did not eventuate.
Some one produced a set of Boules .Jerry and another bloke got going,two different techniques,one rolling ,one using high shots with backspin ,this worked the best because the beach was on an angle.
Later on a very serious lady had a go,there was much debate and measuring going on.

As the afternoon wore on more boats arrived there was quite a mob,thirty boats in the bay.
We left about five and went over to Bond Bay,setting the pots on the way with some bait we scrounged up,I knew Morrie set them up here somewhere when I was here with the Gourmet Farmers .Motored into Bond Bay for the night the wind now abated and back from the North.Had a quiet night.
