I'm itching to get in the water this year and chase some blues. I rekon a few weeks of the heat and it'll be on.

Yeah you can imagine it would Bodie... saw some guys with a line of crab traps just on the south side of woodmans point when we were there on sat... pretty sure they shouldn't have been there?!

We went at 7:20 Goodz

On saturday morning, a crew of about 5 guys was leaving as we got there was that you?.  I had a dive anyway but the easterlie was howling and pushing all the lime west so visability was shit.  We also saw the people on the south side, but werent able to get any rego numbers.

 Didnt see anything, So we piled into the car and drove round to the ammo jetty and we should have dived there right off the bat.  Because of the slight hill it was like a millpond, but it drops off to 10mt pretty quick, and we actually saw some people getting into the water with scuba under the jetty.  Went again on Monday arvo, visability was better, but still not great, but this time there was a south southwest wind up and the tip of the point had a million kitesurfers.  We went for a dive anyway close to the lime plant and I saw 3 undersize ones but no keepers.  Still we were nowhere near what I would call the prime ground.

Probably - But be careful of the ban

You need to be north of an imaginary line from the tip of woodman pt to the northern end of carnac. So Weedbanks to the north of Carnac, but I would avoid the eastern edge of carnac until the 15th.

They were decimating our baits as soon as they hit the water and the scuba divers all seemed to be doing well.
