Title: SARDINE RUN 2017
Post by: Plugger on June 06, 2017, 04:35:18 PM

Well the Yellow Bill Kites and Swallows are long gone, the Aloes are flowering, all the signs are there but where are the Sards ? Seems like this fantastic event may be a non event again.

Plenty action at Addington this morning but they were chasing ghost mackerel or something.  False alarm, none netted

No sards,  razors came long after I left.  Plenty action and not much result. Couple baskets. Waste of time really
