Last night wasn’t primo for me.. went to Bayleys beach but there was nothing decent where I was, plenty of sea lice and/or crabs stripping baits quickly. Saw Birdlingsflat go past on the quad bike.. maybe a thumbs up could be the secret signal that you’re a forum member. Would’ve tried further down the beach and stayed longer if I didn’t have a friend and one of my sons with me.
