Weather: Calm overnight and picked up in the am to around 10 knts. Water temp 17-18 degrees. 

Spots: Between Mornington and Frankston out at 18m

Bait: Silver whiting, pillies, squid, cubed pillies for berley.  

Catch: 2x snapper (63cm and 70cm) and 2 x fresh squid.  

Crew: Overnighter with Sam then picked up Harvey at 4:30am on the sat morning. 

Review: Caught 2 squid at the evening with sam for fresh bait the next day. Would have hoped to catch a few more but we got out too late and the sun set before we had to anchor up and sleep overnight. Was so good to have hot chocolate with Sam Friday evening, he was so happy to finally have his sleep over. Picked up Harvey in the early am from Mornington and headed out to 18m or so. Caught the 2x snapper just after sunrise. Good fight, good sesh. Wind picked up at around 10am so had to head back in. 

Rating: 10/10. Sleep over with Sam was special. 5/5 >50cm snapper prior to xmas, but still not caught the big one on the soft plastic.
