<\/center>With work pretty busy at the moment, it’s been hard to get out fishing. However, with Tim and I purchasing Troy’s boat (he’s off to Perth at the end of the year), we were keen to take it out for a spin. We took it up to the gorge, and had a great morning of fishing – seven barra on, with four landed (two for me, two for Tim). While the ones we landed weren’t huge, there was one at 57cm (pictured) that will fit nicely into the oven whole. We’ll be heading back to one particular snag, as I lost one that looked huge from the size of the head I saw! We capped off the day quite well by finishing a respectable third out of 13 at the local quiz night (and we only had a table of four rather than six to eight!).<\/p>\nVery happy with the day’s events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
