After a washed out long weekend Murray and I headed over to the sunny Bay Of Plenty to stay at a family members Bach at Bowentown, we arrived mid afternoon to the same weather system we had left but not as bad, the harbour was calm, but the bar to the sea was closed with a 2 metre swell and rough seas. We unloaded our gear and launched the boat, it was low tide , in fact a very low tide as we found out, after leaving the ramp we went about 50 meters then grounded the boat, having to push the boat another 100 meters until finding deeper water before we were under way. The water was dirty from all the rain but we managed to pick up 8 snapper (5 - 3 to me)returning to the ramp at 10pm in the dark.
