Trip Reports

Attending in no particular order Sean - Mitsi Triton Dave - Mitsi Prado Shane - Mitsi Triton What a day! A last minute trip to the usual beach fishing spot Whitehills. The last few trips here hasn’t produced any fish, which is very unusual for this spot. The one thing that I really noticed compared to all our other trips out here, was the beach erosion. The recent bad weather/storms has really washed the beach away. For the first time, we had to travel behind the dunes to

Attending Dave F. - Prado Gary and Az - 80 series Shane - Triton Like all good trip leaders, a reccy trip is in order. Today I ran an unofficial reccy trip to Whitehills. I had to confirm whether or not that the fish have arrived for this summer's 4wd/fishing beach runs. With great sadness, it was a fishing trip and not a catcing trip. I promise I will start running more reccy trips or at least until we have a successful catching trip. The weather today was awesome. 34 de
