Hey All,

Headed over to the Southern group at Abrohlis last weekend with Reel Affair Charters and had a Awesome trip with a wide variety of species boated over the 3 days that we fished.Trout were notably around in very good numbers and keen to smash plastics and lures of all types. We didnt see many dhu's but all were taken on jigs with pirates and ima ro's accounting for fish up to 65cm.One of the punters did score a nice coronation trout on bait and pinks were around in plague proportions at times.Here are some pics to sum up the weekend.

Our base for the weekend the apty named Nook Island

Mcarthy trout

 Baldie on Fcl 70g

Pinks on Tiki Wave worm 5inch

When we returned to the island most of the boys sat around the fire and had a few beers i decided to cast a few poppers around and although the longtoms were in plague proportions on my second cast i noticed a large boil form right behind my popper. After one more bloop it was smashed by a large Coral trout which wasted no time in destroying the 40lb fluro leader i was using on the sharp coral below.Over the next couple of days i spent most arvos donating stickbaits and poppers to the trout which were unstoppable on pe 3 in 4 feet of water surrounded by razor sharp coral.I did manage to get the wood on two smaller units over a couple of days.I regretted not packing more of a broomstick and the stella which was what was required to remove these Devils from there home.Epic fun none the less!

Finally managed to Skull Drag one across the reef

finished off the weekend handfeeding some resident Sambos which topped off a great weekend away,

cheers
