Windy Week at Fraser

[Neil Stratford]

Just spent the last week camping  up on Fraser Island  on the Eastern Beach with 3 mates.

We should have put the trip off till the weather settled down ,but we had a few bottles Rum and some nice red wines  calling ,and they deadened our wind burn pain effectively .Most  days were 20knots plus with some pretty big seas and a bit of rain during some nights. Anyway we tucked ourselves in behind some dunes and put some walls up on my 6x3 Gazebo and had  a somewhat sheltered camp.Most days it was just fishable early morning and late afternoon. Any way ,we are back safe and sound , survived the dingo menace and caught plenty of quality tailor with nearly all just over 500mm with a few slightly bigger ones in the mix.Caught a few Dart but they were pretty average. I also managed a beautiful little mulloway which hit me in the shore dump. I captured a couple of photos of him before successfully releasing him. 
Here’s a few photos , I’ll put some up on the North vs South  Comp at a later date when I get a chance to sort through them .

Great fishing and report as always Neil. Nice work on the surf mulloway and all the tailor.

Nice one, Neil. Good to see you made the most of it. The best part about a holiday finishing is you are ready to plan the next.
