Hinze Western arm No3 19/9/24

[rayke1938]

Could not help myself this morning the original plan was to fish the eastern arm but rick twisted my arm and we ended up back at the western arm. We had a bit of fun sorting out the stern motor that wanted to go forward when in reverse and go backwards when in forward. I had chipped the prop last trip and had a untested spare at home that looked the same and I swapped it over On closer perusal back at the ramp whilst it was the same diameter it was pitched in the opposite direction and had a much smaller pitch so we had hardly any torque in reverse and dropped about 2kph in top speed. After doing shrimp pots we headed in to Ians island and picked up around 10 bass before the school moved on, Went to usual spot on tip of island for some more bass before they also moved on. The wind was up and down all morning and kept on changing direction which made it a bit hard to use the spot lock in some places. Amelia took line honors with a nice yella and a 45cm bass . Final tally was down on the last trip with 40 bass tagged and released.
