Hit the Glenorra boat ramp at 05:30ish saturday morning. I can't remember a morning that was as dark and foggy as this one. As the driver it was my job to navigate us out towards Keiths Shoal, this turned out to be an adventure in itself as I lost the ferry lights in minutes and couldn't see the lighthouse, but eventually we made it. Just after daylight we missed one, then picked up a small one on the way towards the "batcave" using a light coloured reef runner 150 ft back. Trolled aroung the batcave for a bit then headed back towards ferry, caught a 5 pounder on a "pink Lemonade" reef runner near the shoal, 200 ft back. Last one was took a "gray ghost" reef runner near the ferry at 200 ft back. This one was to big so back it went. Water temp at ramp was 32/33 degrees so it won't be long before freeze-up
