Another Day in Paradise

Very little wind overnight and a bright blue morning sky set the theme for the day. The decision to stay for another day wasn't very difficult.
Baked beans on toast with eggs for breakfast got us off to a good start but by time we chatted with the neighbours it was late morning and we had to hurry down to the beach for some surf fishing.
However hard we tried, lures or bait, those big Australian Salmon kept alluding us. We could see them swimming in the waves as they rolled into shore but we could't hook them.
Even the squid, which apparently are plentiful over here, seem to be on the bite when we are not fishing.
The only consolation we have is that other people are not catching anything either.
After a late lunch we returned to the rocks on the edge of Lucky Bay and got rid of the remaining bait, jigged a bit for squid and finally headed back to camp as the sun was setting - unfortunately still empty handed.
Today was very pleasant with warm temperatures and very little wind, just about perfect.
We had to start packing up our camp tonight so we can have an easy (and early) start tomorrow morning.
On our last night here at Lucky Bay we were falling asleep to sound of the waves crashing onto the white beach down below - sure beats watching TV.
