Abrohlos trip!

Between tapout, bouttime, tangles and myself we got into some awsome fish out there. Plently of fun in the shallows to trolling there was fish everywhere. Tapout and myself did some diving and seen some awsome mackies to 20kg yellow fin tuna to over 100kg with sickles over a metre long! Bouttime and tangles found a nice drop off and got stuck into some nice dhuies and pinkies as well as heaps of good redthroat and baldies. We trolled up shark mackies and tangles nailed some good tailor we could only dream of in perth. Tapout and myself waided the shallows, he got a nice tailor on popper on i got blood poisoning from slipping on the coral! Mark, tapouts cousin did the "OP" with a toothbrush and sissors....man that hert! Bouttimes boat got some damage on the windy nights when the ropes snapped and then got bogged trying to get it out at port gregory! Tapout was seen waving at mackies under water and they both got sick of my grunting while bringing in all the big fish on 14lb!lol. Not really, all of us did well on the light stuff and got some awsome captures anyone would be proud of.

A big personal thanks to bouttime and tapout as well as tangles and his "secret spots" i had a great time. Good blokes, nice boat and i rubbed 2 PB's off my list. Thanks guys i had a ball. Cant wait for the footage and ill post a heap more photos up when i get the chance. heaps of tapout, bouttime, tangles and myself to come.

Cheers Chris.

Nothing wrong with waving at Mackies cheif hahaha. If you cant get a shot of with the gun you may as well wave at them as they swim off. Its the polite thing to do.As for the trip it was certainly one hell of a time.Thanks to all the guys for a good trip.Thanks to my cousin we had a roof over our heads and a hot shower every night.All in all it was an awsome place to visit and great blokes on the island who made us feel very welcome.Its going to have to be an annual thing from now on I think. Cant wait till next trip.
