Coral bay 17 to 25 May
another year has unfortuantely come and gone. Weather was spot on and the fishing slow to begin but hotted up once the full moon got further away.
we fished north, south and everywhere in between. we stuck the plan that I tell evryone and that is 2/3 drifts and no action, move on! so I kept farming our spots and the fish came. did not lose a fish nor see a shark. only rigs lost were 2 or 3 of tangles that I couldnt be stuffed sorting out!
pic # shows the boat uniform. funny thing is hadnt seen a red until day 3 and within 5 mins of it coming out, we had a red on board!no commentary required, israel falaou emailed the crew to tell them what would happen to them 
highlights included;
- 6+ 8-10kg rankins,
- an 8kg red (last day)
- catching our bag of 15 fish in about 45 mins on a new spot (last day), sounder shot depicts this (pic #6 is some of bag)
- using just 35l of fuel to catch the bag in pic # 1
- the food and company, wow we, Greek Barra's kebabs are up there with any I've had at midnight and Harry the chefs battered wings are close to the best I've had
we also dropped the go pro down ona boated rig into anywhere from 60 to 75m of water and the footage is unbelievable. i now have a real understanding of what I am reading on the sounder.
sorry should also have added there was a huge (at least footy oval size) scholl of sardines or similar south of south passge that also had the thrill of jumping in and swimming with along with lots of others. supposedly lots of bities arund this school but didnt see any or get any on the go pro footage.

If we were the B Team I assume you’ll have to play yourself back through the thirds after your notable absence this year.

Coral bay a Bit Windy
Well done. We arrived here yesterday and thought we would duck out for a sneaky fish late arvo as is our tradition. Looked at south passage and pulled the pin.
Doesn’t look like we will get much fishing done for the next week. Wind looks like it has put an end to that. Hopefully drop off for the following week
luckily we are here for two weeks and have been looking at all the posts on here over5he last week or so thinking bewdy. Oh well at least we have plenty of beer.

Baitball
we had a look at that patch of bait last week and it was shark city. When we first pulled up in the middle of it there was two sharks about 2.5 m right there.we spent half an hour watching sharks ripping around on the surface. I jumped in with the GoPro but could not see anything as the bait was so thick. The next day we were fishing south so I came in through the waroora passage to have another look and it was pretty quiet but we did see about half a dozen reefies go into the bait.
that same day we saw a small bust up a few miles out. In the middle of it there was two quite big sharks sitting vertically and sticking their heads out of the water . I got some GoPro footage of it.
letsgofishing, it is the old story of you should have been here last week as it was unbelievably good
