Restless nights but Relaxing days;

View from tent while reading all morning, after fishing.

What a perfect day!  Apart from being so tired after another restless night.  Johnno reckons his cough is starting to get better, but it didn’t sound like it in the middle of the night when he was trying to cough up his innards!  Not that I cared, I couldn’t sleep anyway.  The mozzies came out in force last night, and I wasn’t prepared.  We got a few bites when sitting outside for our sundowner, but not enough to worry about.  I first noticed how bad they were when I went outside later to go to the toilet…didn’t go again for the rest of the night!! Have you seen the movie 'Pitch Black'?  It was like that!!  Don't go out there, don't go into the dark, they are coming to get me!!!
 I was hot and itchy all night, Johnno was coughing continually, so we were glad when the sun started to come up.

Mozzies trying to get me!

This is the morning, mozzies still trying to get into tent!!  

After an entertaining breakfast, watching all the mozzies trying to get inside (I killed a dozen that had managed to get in), we headed straight to the point to fish.  

Few cast of the lures, and I was on.  No-where near as impressive as the Tervalley Johnno caught yesterday, but the first fish for the day.

1st fish for the day!

It didn’t take long until Johnno started getting bluebone bites, very shortly after that he had his first bluebone on the rock!!  Wahoo!! 

It was a beautiful morning, slight breeze to keep the bugs away, slightly overcast so not too hot, the water was so clean and clear.  Just perfect.  Not even half an hour went by before Johnno had landed his second bluebone!  Yah!

They aren’t as big as we used to catch, but are the prefect meal size.  We had Bluebone for lunch:

Two Bluebone straight up!  I love it here!!

Filleting Bluebone on the Point.

Perfect start to the day!  Both these were caught on hand line,  Johnno learnt years ago it’s the best/only way to get them in.  But after we had our two to eat, he wanted to try on the rod again.   He got a reminder why he uses the handline straight away!  Instantly broken off half a dozen times in a row

  We were glad that we went early, we don’t keep track of days, and had forgotten it was the weekend.  People started turning up to fish as we were leaving, and they've been coming and going’s all day, busy little weekend spot.

We spent the rest of the day totally relaxing!  Reading, swimming, eating, swimming, playing on the beach with dogs, reading some more.  Having a cold beer.  And now about to cook the other Bluebone for dinner.

Due to how quickly Johnno caught the first two bluebone, we still have crabs in the fridge for tomorrows bait….but due to amount of people camping down by the rock, we might go to Barred Creek instead!
