Seven days in Venus Bay passed quickly and in what seemed no time at all it was time to move further up the coast. But not before one last dawn visit to Mount Camel Beach, our favourite fishing beach - it rarely lets us down. This time we fished with some renewed and new acquaintances we met at the caravan park – Barb and her husband Tom, Peter and his wife Carol, and Annie and her husband Bob.
Our first baits plunged into the cold ocean water before the sun peeped over the horizon to greet the day. And the fish were waiting. It wasn’t long before the bags of Australian salmon and ocean mullet began to bulge. The mullet at this time of year are big, and delicious eaten fresh. We all caught plenty of these, but none equalled the whopper hauled in by Tom.
The early morning action at the beach doesn’t last long. By 8.30am it was all over, and time to clean the catch, pack our bags into the car and head north. Now with garfish on our minds.
