Went out on Juke from Hillarys on Thursday

Headed west with southerly winds

Five minutes in you knew it was going to be ROUGH
Rockin & rollin - survived for nearly two hours until we reached the destination west of Rottnest

Got up to cast & with the boat really rooling & lurching lasted two casts b4 I got the urge to up chuck

Boy was I crook, along with another five or six on board

Those hardy ones continued fishing landing a size dhui, a huge KG, several snapper & other assorted reef fish

Finally got the courage to do 20 miinutes fishing only to get a small flat head b4 I had to call it quits

Boy was I glad when when got back to shore nearly nine hours after leaving

Talking to the decky on the way back it was the old story - you should have been out yesterday it was beautiful

The skipper & decky were apologetic when we got back about the rough weather but it will take a lot to get me out in "da big ocean" again

I really luv da hard stuff under my feet!!
