23.10.11 More of the same

Sunday was very like last weekend except it was the first long weekend of spring (Labour day), as usual Friday was our first real taste of summer and as you guessed it a southerly front came over early evening. Saturday was ruined with messy onshore conditions. Sunday there was a light Easterly leaving the sea sloppy - but we went out anyway, to the same spots as last week and ended up with one snapper and 24 Tarakihi. The forecast had Monday as freshening northerlies (not good for our coast) and with Rugby world cup victory to celebrate we decided to leave the rods at home and just pick up the crayfish pots we had set on Saturday, as per normal it was flat as and not a breathe of wind and so with only 2 legal crayfish we came home in a rather foul mood. I later heard that the northerly was howling out to sea and it wasn't that good, with most struggling to catch a feed. So a day at home wasn't that bad after all.
