White Lady hits the water

We are off fishing today, Brian, Jan Nathan, Rob & I. ( I need to come up with some sort of abbreviation here another 5 weeks of this and I will use up all my blog allowance just writing down everyone’s name all the time, more about this shortly) anyway I’m up early and ready to go, I get picked up on the way to Robs and I’m going on his boat and Brian is going to take the White Lady (WL) out for its first run. Yes you guessed it another boat not quite ready bit going on the water anyway. The 105 Chrysler is nicknamed the fridge and one look will confirm this. We finally get to Buffalo creek after several stops and there is no water. Some guys just fling a tinny off the back and slam it into the rocks to launch. Not much chance Rob would do that to his boat and no chance with the White lady. Sorry Jan I nearly write Brian’s Boat every time but that’s another story.
We decide to go to Nightcliff and there is enough water launch there. Off we go Rob & I head off to set out Crab pots which I bait up and rig up on the way. We make it up the estuary just and set the pots. We catch up with the (WL) and fish for a little while and head off. Rob losses the WL and we are half way to Mandorah before we find out its not them. Back to the Bottle Wash an artificial reef for a brief fish before the crew in the WL decide to leave, I think Nathan has done enough of being the Burley Boy.
We head back and check the pots with 6 nice Muddies, but I’m quite disappointed I only fished for no more than 45 minutes in an entire day and even saw a little to much sun. Better no forget to mention Tina cleaned the van for the kids arrival and raked up heaps of leaves to try to reduce the Midgies.
