This morning saw the second group from the Gan Craft on water experience hit the water, launching a little earlier than last time the group met Gawaine Blake from Bigtime charters at 0600, Hasting Boat Ramp in Victoria was cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey at that hour, the troops were glad they did not have the wind we had the few weeks earlier as well as the cold. We headed out the Hasting Channel and turned left towards Tyabb Bank, one thing that was noticed was the full moon high in the west as we made our way off, not the best moon for squid fishing in Australia but we battled on regardless. The first squid did not take to long to come into the boat but was hardly the larger ones we were hoping for. As the sun started o rise we anticipated a few more squid but they held off on all lures, there was a fair spread of colors and sizes with various styles of working the egi, was a very slow start to the day. A nice sight for those of us who braved the cool weather was a rare meeting with a couple of whales slowly moving up the Port breaching along the way, I was hoping to get the perfect tail shot with a zoom lens but these big mammal visitors just didn't read the script.
