Bloody hell, is it ever going to kick in this year so we can get some good 15-20 SB afternoons.
Is this a late season start, or am I just getting a tad edgy. ?

GT yes I actually did get out at Lucky Bay, although it was late afternoon and the breeze/gust started to die.
Was warm enough even for you. so why didn’t you show
The only issue was we had to run big gear and the tide had us only running about 400 meters at best each time between sand bar and foreshore. Other side of sandbar the breeze was worse, and one run in that cured a few of us from venturing much further.
Wore a bit of the big fin a few times

Was recovering from 40th birhday celebrations , on my way to help the old man wash the old dog, yes I would have been out there as now is the time, next weekend I am off on a shooting trip, 77 kms north east of Paynes Find, leave midday Thursday, once that one is done I will have some time to hit the water, until bub comes decides he wants to look at the real world

Cheers mate
