Berley: None
Catch: 1 bream, 1 pinkie, 1 short finned snook, 1 trevalley, 1 tiny tiny trevally
Report: Great fun fishing these new waters. Narooma we only fished lures and caught 0. Lost my bloody $25 double clutch in the reeds when trawling in shawllow water. That lure seriously keeps its depth, but caught nothing on it. People were catching leather jackets on bait, but i cbf using bait. Soft plastics in the bar beach for flatties as well as in the inlet would have been best bet. In Gymea bay, this was great - got up early and caught heaps of little fish with the kids using pillies. Reinhard caught a freaking tiny trevally and we live baited it which was swallowed up by the pike. Good fight. We also caught a pinkie and thre it back, only to see a whopper baracouta go after it and eat it. Live baiting this area for couta would be awesome, but we ran out of time as Jax was hungry.   

Rating: 9/10. Sydney was the success, loses a point 

for the lost double clutch!
