Action packed day out from Mindarie
Headed out from Mindarie yesterday with Mark (keg) and Kevin (Ashen) and once again had a great time on the water with the action being pretty much non stop.
A few highilghts from the day:
- Being in the middle of a huge school of YTKs smashing up bait all around the boat. Some very big models in the mix but couldn't tempt any to take a lure or mulie
- Nailing a little spinner shark on a 1/8 oz bucktail from BJ Jigs, had a few screaming runs on the light gear (ended up with 3 sharks for me, 1 for Mark)
- Pulling a little SBT from a bust up only to have it mauled by a pack of salmon boat-side, one of which stole the lure. Fought that salmon for a couple minutes but pulled the hooks on it only to have another tuna take it again right away which I got in the boat safely.
- Kev nailing his first salmon (also on one of BJs Bucktails)
- Bagging out on good sized skippy and releasing many more, biggest we kept went 46cm. They hung around for hours even after the burley was finished and were smashing big baits as well as lures.
-Getting a bonito on a metal which somehow found the only little hole in the net, managed to slip through and screamed off for another run. It was interesting fighting a fish through a net haha

Great day!
Yep, another great day out with the usual crew! Aimed for demersals, but they hiding! Lol
Catching my first Salmon felt great. Gave my new Salt 50 combo abit of a workout, thats for sure!
Regarding the skippy, after catching a few I got bored with the fight, cranked up my drag and started winching them in! Lol
We must've caught over 50 but released them all after we maxed out.
Have used artificials in the past without much success. After seeing people catch fish with Big Johns Lures, I borrowed one from Dylan to give it a whirl. Very impressed! BJ, I've asked Dylan to order some on my behalf, for the team to use!
Thanks again for an awesome day out guys!
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!
