Streaky Bay South Australia

It's lovely to be here our of season. This place is nuts in March/April, but the park is almost empty now and very nice.

We've been here 4 nights and managed to get out in the boat twice (to windy on the other days). Day one we caught two King George whiting and a few Tommy Ruff, yesterday we caught 6 whiting, 3 tommy ruff, a flat head and a squid. That squid is the first we've ever seen here and one whiting was 37cm which is quite big for one of those. I caught a crab on my line that we have never seen before. We think it's some type of spider crab but aren't sure-anyhow, we let him go.

Just as we finished fishing yesterday a light wind blew up, by the time we got back the couple of ks to the boat ramp it was a howling gale that hasn't let up all night! It's eased this morning a bit.
