51 degrees, is that really cold for your particular area ? I know it gets cold in the south sometimes, but I don't really know.
Your weather is like girls I've met; moist and unstable
Who loves fishing ?

No, not really - was being kind of tongue in cheek. Normally a few degrees warmer, but nothing major.
What was unusual was a 15-20 mph wind blowing straight down the river.
I'm standing on a rock out in the river, hoodie up, huddled with the wind at my back, thinking, "What the fuck am I doing out here?"
Then I'd catch a fish and forget about it for a bit!

I was out with a friend in his boat and the lighting storm cells were all around us. I was getting mild shocks with every turn of the reel handle and my friend could hear his line buzzing. We zipped into a bay and kept fishing.
Kind of like how 'Billy is going to die hugging a predator, I'll likely go out doing something dumb cuz the fish are biting.

Right?!? The last words I ever speak will prolly be "Just one more!" I got fired from a job for missing a flight because, "Just one more." Rather fish than work, anyways. Fuck 'em, they didn't even fish.

Camping fishing trip in a marine park ( Second Creek) dunno what the other half dozen creeks we passed are called then ? ??
Bloody flies are out in full force , dive bombing at every opportunity . Ah the Oz coast in spring . Wifey was up till 0330 am soaking a hook . She caught 5 whiting while I was snoring ( not my fault , the Kosher Kush backhanded me )
And behind us the more traditional Scrubland where our native species are awakening as the land warms up .

Yep it gets about 2.5 metre tidal range on the peak moon phases and rushes in and out pretty quickly . I fished the outgoing tonight and jagged a few more fish . I’ll post a few more picks down the track . Those sandbars pop up a couple times a day of course . It’s a complex little creek with so many variables in weed beds , depths and biodiversity . The whole joint is feeding off the movement constantly . It’s pretty much a nursery for crabs , rays , juvenile fish , birds etc. The wife absolutely loves to fish . She’s a full blown outdoor girl ?

It certainly is that . I suppose it’s the benefit of living kind of remote . We aren’t hugely populated in my area so generally you can find a quiet little spot to escape the world . So nice to fall asleep smelling the ocean and hearing the waves rolling in ??

My wife is an outdoor girl, too, she just doesn't like open water. She's convinced she drowned in a past life!
I reckon so! We are also pretty remote / sparsely populated where I am. I saw a guy hiking in as I was hiking out of the river yesterday. Of course, I told him the fishing was crap and he should go home. And he did!
Usually I am the only one out there, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh mate you just reminded me of another story I have in my story time vault .
I remember once while in the middle of nowhere steaming between fishing grounds with no land in sight everyone was asleep except myself who was on watchkeeping duties . It was kind of stormy but workable . I was kind of half asleep as you are at 0200am in the morning and I noticed the HF radio starts humming and buzzing a little more than usual with white noise . Not thinking a lot of it I’m kind of drifting around with my thought when a huge lightning bolt shreds through the sky directly above us and strikes the water maybe 100 feet in front of the boat ……..and then instantly KABOOM . The sea lights up the size of a football around the hull like a sports stadium floodlights were suddenly switched on . The boat rattles and shakes and the Autopilot suddenly disengages sending us off course . Within seconds I can hear the Skipper who happened to be my brother flying out of his bunk and up the stairs . He looks at me and blurts out “ what have we hit , what the fuck is happening “
It’s was a classic you had to see it because words won’t do it justice .
I still don’t know to this day how it missed us ??
. I know I’m glad it missed us .
Left me stunned and nervous for a few hours

Man that sounds better than Coffee soaked in Cocaine for waking someone up quick haha!
You ever catch one of those massive whiptail Rays you guys have there? Apparently you can feed them "Prawns" by hand. Oh and you have that......It's a Shark.....Not well known,, it's a Freshwater shark that is NOT a Bullshark, and only a few people have ever caught one Glyphus ? Glyfus? Can't remember exactly but yeah you guys have some interesting critters running around.
I feel like the thread of a Croc going after me though would in itself put them on the menu for me; I know those things can swim right up from the water and nail someone in a boat, and I feel like I'd just use a big ass hook and a raw Chicken to hook into it.

I’ll still take the Coffee soaked in Cocaine just as an added measure . Well it’s 0530 am and I can hear the wildlife waking up around the tent .
Brew the Coffee pot and my line will be in the water shortly . The outgoing tide hopefully gets some interest ??

Thank you mate . Yeah I’m a little excited to be honest . I’m just waiting for a little more light . The birds are all up and about and the dogs dropping fart bombs so that’ll drive me out of the palace soon enough
