Headed out to "Moonta North" on Tuesday evening with my trusty deckie, three days after the New Moon to see if the bloods were running and to check out the new lights on the boat.
Launched a few hours before dark to sus out the spot and then moved out about 5kms for a little fishing till sunset. Did not expect to catch anything due to the timing of the Bloodworm run but what else do you do apart from look at the stunning scenery from the wind farms to the start of the Flinders Ranges. Expected to catch a few squid but surprise, surprise George decided to come to the party and had enough for a feed before we had to head off.
Moved back to spot x and sat around chatting and adding layers of clothes until about an hour after high tide before switching on the lights.
We had some severe reservations about being out worming this night because there were ZERO boats out apart from a pro that was out wide. Do the locals know something we don't???? Are there no worms to be had on this perfect June night?????

No butterflies here.

Soon after turning on the lights we were again stunned by how alive the water was with small fast worms (I don't know what they are) and before long the first Bloodworm appeared out of the darkness. About 2 hours later we had about 4 litres of worms. We were allowed 8 litres but 4 was plenty and wanted to get back home by 2 am to get a few hours sleep

I will finish this report when I reduce the size of the pic files and let you know how we got on with the preserving and storage. Stay tuned.

Hey guys, yes the footy tipping comp is back on this year. Unfortunately sponsors fell through last year. I'll make sure there is some kind of prize at the end of this years comp.

The new comp will be announced shortly.
