Went out on the boat yesterday not quite appreciating how rough it would be! Got beyond the breakwater in 1.5m of swell with 25 - 30 knots of wind on top of it. :-o Found a little shelter in the lee of Portland and it started to rain. Caught one schoolie of 1 1/2 lbs and gave it up as a bad job after one drift and ran for cover soaked.
Left home this morning at 0730 in bright sun and no wind. Thought I would try Portland again, virtually no wind and nicely overcast. First drift and it looked great, then it started to rain, and rain it did for the next 6 hours. Fished hard over what looked like excellent ground and in some fast tide races, changed lures more than 15 times and caught one small Pollock, had a follow from a Garfish and one swirl from a Bass. Got soaked again. At the end of 2 outings to Portland not any wiser except maybe I should try SPs
