The Sydney Harbour trip proved an interesting although ultimately unproductive trip for the club. We launched at Roseville bridge in the dark and travelled down through Middle Harbour to the heads by sunrise. Here we all split up and tried different locations around the harbour. Stickerman and myself tried some of the large markers, drifting past, casting a variety of sized baitfish patterns on full sink lines. We had no luck as we made our way from marker to marker down the harbour all the way to Point Piper, only spotting a single, very small school of pelagics a few times as they broke the surface feeding. We didn't even get time enough to identify them.

After a mid-morning snack we phoned Big Bob and Dave to see if they were having any luck but no one reported any success. Bob was moored just inside North Head so we headed back to join him where he was berlying up. Again no luck so we moved yet again and followed Dave back up Middle Harbour towards the boat ramp. We stopped at Bantry Bay for a quick fish after Dave received a report from Justin that there had been Kingfish in there, but again not much luck. By lunch time we were back at the ramp and on our way home. It was a long trip for no fish, but I still found it an enjoyable morning and an interesting way to view a waterway that I had seen from many angles but never from the water.
