    Spent an hour or so mucking about with the crab pots, No muddies but I did manage a nice blue swimmer.
    The fishing in the river was quite good and we caught 6x estuary cod and 8 jacks.
    We kept a couple of the jacks for dinner and released everything else.

    There's a reason why I haven't posted many fishy pics, I haven't caught much sadly
    We are heading down to Exmouth on Tuesday for a week or two to try our luck there and the missus can get to go to the beach (No decent beaches here) , She can also catch up with the "goss" from here Niece and I can finally put a Full days fishing in on my own

    2 to 3 hours on the boat is her limit and that makes it hard for me to find the fish.
    I am heading out from here "solo" tomorrow ( the missus wants to do the washing) and if I still don't catch anything decent then I will have to wear the blame myself, Lets see what happens

    Well I put a Full days fishing in an only ould manage 4 sized reef fish, So it wasn't the missus fault at all.
    I did count 7 boats in the area I was fishing so I put the lack of fish to the area getting hammered

    We are now in Exmouth for a while But November is always pretty windy here unfortunately BUT it only takes a couple of good days at the Murion islands to get a good feed of fish:

    I flushed the outboard with fresh water after the last trip and stupidly left the flush plug on the transom and lost it on the way to Exmouth, Hopefully I can get a replacement before Sunday when some decent weather is being forecasted.

    I spoke with the local boat mechanic about getting a new flush plug and he told me it will take about a week to get one sent in.
    He then told me that all I have to do is to get a 3/4 nylon plug and some thread tape from the miter 10 store across the the road and that will do the job.
    $6 for 2x plugs and a roll of tape and the jobs done

    The locals call November "Blowvember" and with strong wind warnings for today and tomorrow the nickname is quite apt So it looks like today will be a "Tikky tour" day to look for some land based fishing areas that I can try untill the winds drop.

    Thanks Mate.
    At least the boat is the cleanest and as organised as it can possibly be now due to the extended period of being stuck on the beach.
    Blowing again today so it looks like the D2a will get a "Birthday" as well.

    I have managed to garner quite a bit of local knowledge from the Niece's husband and a couple of his RAAF workmates who are all keen boaties/fishermen So hopefully I can turn that info into hookups when I finally hit the water
