awsome well done never heard of a black trout before i have now though they look cool did u kepp him or through him back?

It's certainly a dark one!!

Great fish on SP. A fat fish for sure.

Thats a solid proper trout and very dark too.  What part of WA did he come from?

nice big fat momma there.
Wouldn't mind a peek at your GPs with the fish you've been posting up lately.

Nice fish that!

nice trout for sure. cant remember seeing one that dark before. looks like it was just a bit cold

Thanks Adam I caught the trout off the coast of Dongara in the shallow stuff again. An yer Tim I have a few spots that I guard with my life ha ha, but in saying that i'm always happy to take people out for a fish.

very nice trout indeed.

That is a great trout...and on SP.  Top catch.

Cheers Pete

Thats a plump trout there! Very nice catch especially that far south! Do you get many trout around dongara? Planning a trip up there later in the year, might have to catch up for a fish!

And I am positive it didnt go back. It would not on my boat that is for sure.

Yum Yum.

Mate I know your a big lad, so that is one big fish.

What did it drop the scales to because 5-6 looks a little low IMO.

A few more Trout that we have caught on SP, the 4th photo is my girlfriends PB Trout and the last photo is off my mates PB Trout, all fish were caught off the coast of Dongara and all caught in the last few months.

Yer Goodz we catch a few Trout around here more than people think and if you are comin up this way for a fish hit me a PM im sure we could sort somethin out. An thanks Neels only weighed the big Trout quickly before it was dispatched and put on ice, it was around the 6kg maybe 7kg mark but hard to tell with lip grip scales in the boat ha ha.

The only trout that go back on my boat is littlies, and bagged out ones. To nice to resist. And there is plenty of little ones out there.

You must have a good spot with that quality trout.

The ones I have been getting on SP up here in Dampier are legal to about 5kg max, and they seem few and far between. Then it might be the hopeless fisher or havent found the trout burger shop yet.

The fun is in finding the motherload aswell as the fishing.

Great trout mate, especialy for so far south. Have u been getting all these quality fish drifting or anchor and burleying?

Awesome effort there mate - looks like you have got it well and truly sorted out from there

Hi Paul 86 I don't anchor up much unless it's super windy or i'm chasing Pinkys or Sambos, I'd rather slowly drift over good ground or set the boat up to drift along a nice edge/drop off and I always fish light to get the bite.

Cheers mate, gotta agree with going light, makes a big difference in the shallows, alot more fun too :)
