sorry bill only just saw your post. well i went today and apart from being cold and wet it was a beautiful flat calm day. There was a little wind chop on the way over but still managed to sit on 35kph comfortably the whole way. as far as the fishing was concerned i didnt have much luck a few parrot fish and that was it for the day but i will be back. it is a beautiful place over there and im sure there must be fish there somewhere also looks like it will be a nice place to do some overnighters through summer and beautiful crystal clear water to do some diving in but then i will be able to see the sharks coming at me

it was an even better trip home cracking a new top speed of 79kph but only for a little while. all up i travel 127km and used 91L fuel so i was pretty happy with that

Was a nice day alright. No wind is a bonus. Which way did you go once you got to East Telegraph beach? It is a magical place. Much like flinders island with the granite boulders etc.

Ok cool. Complete wrong time of year, but come summer time, youre in prime snapper and kingy territory

. Did you try of the beaches there? Normally some very good flathead and the ever reliable by-catch gummy.

sure did from 5m through to 40m deep off nearly all the little beaches and even threw in a squid jig and nothing
