15th and 16th June Goldsmith Island

We spent 3 nights in total at Goldsmith Island and we stayed in the Western Anchorage.
Fishing has always been great at this island and it did not let us down again.
First night I had only 3 pieces of bait from the spotted mackerel fillets and I caught 5 Spangled Emperor.
Second night I only fished for 30 mins after dark and caught 2 Stripey Perch and a Spangled Emperor. The freezer is nearly full so I am only taking the best eating fish and letting the rest go.
It was a very nice relaxing time at Goldsmith. Managed to get some long walks in on the beach and fossicked in the debris washed up by the cyclone.
Found a plastic life ring from a boat - no doubt cyclone debris. Could not read the boat name.

We have noticed on this trip a distinct lack of seabird life but no shortage of turtles. They are everywhere.
