Great Morning
Had a great morning on the water with Dave (Capt) and the boys, Got out off Magnetic Island with fantastic weather. Although the fish weren't jumping out of the water we still managed a good catch On the way back Dave gave me the opportunity to pull one of his crab pots that provided a nice size Muddy to take home. Dave was brilliant and very much a mate on the water. Thanks Dave, I'll certainly be back when next time i'm in the area.
