After leaving Bribie Island on Monday I soon found myself at Calloundra, where I've stopped for a quick recharge. I've been able to catch up with an old mate who I haven't seen for over a decade and have been a bit too distracted to go fishing since I got here. As you might imagine the first day was spent catching up on old times and this involved quite a few 'medicinal purposes'. So much so that the next day I really wasn't in any kind of fit state for kayak fishing. My shoulder has been troubling me a bit as well, so it's been good to give it a bit of a break.

I have had a bit of a look around though and there do look to be some great kayak fishing opportunities off the beaches here, with plenty of bommies to explore. The weather is looking a bit stale today so I'll be playing catch up on a bunch of different things today, including concocting plans for the next week or two. I'll be putting in a big effort on the water tomorrow to try and make up for the downtime of the last couple of days.

I've got some videos ready to be uploaded later today, as well as my wrap up report on kayak fishing Bribie Island. Once that's done I'm heading off in search of a gear pod that is slim enough to share space with the Hobie Revolution on my roof racks. It's getting tight in that car of mine and it's interior is gradually being coated with a fine layer of sand and salt. I figure that a suitable gear pod could house my rods, spear, paddles, mirage drive and all of the other stuff that is otherwise clumsily stored in the back of the car.
