Hi All

Just thought i would share a few pics from our recent trip to Coral Bay. Didnt take anywhere near as many pics as i should have done.

We got some pretty primo weather for the first 5 days of the trip with next to no wind and no swell but after that it blew up a bit.

We managed to get into some decent fish aswell while where there and avoided the sharks for most of it with only one spot being bad for them.

We trolled up a heap of Macks and probably caught about 25 between 3 of us in the few trips out in the boat aswell as Tuna and Trevally that where also hitting the bait balls.

Cobia seemed to be at most spots that we stopped to have a drop and we caught about 10  with a couple of horses in the mix. At the cleaning tables it looked like everyone was getting there fair share of them aswell.

On the last day we took the boat out we found a couple of nice patchs that we pulled Reds, Cod, Goldband, Spanglies and Robbos from. With the sharks getting there share on the way up. The only time we had a problem with them was this day.

Found a good beach spot aswell that produced Trevally and Quenies every day for some fun on light gear.

Cobia for my brother in law. Went 140cm. I got a bigger one the day before but was in a rush to get my line baqck in so no pic.

Our last day on the water. a Mad dash out early in the morning as the wind was due to pick up at lunch.

The young fella learning what colour is good.

Biggest queenie for the trip off the beach. My old girl caught it on 20lb.

Learnt the hard way about setting the drag properly. Ran it to loose and the first mack that hit it overspooled it and birdsnested and lost the lure. Not before i stupidly tried to thumb the spool.

Highlight of the trip for me was my 160cm cobia on jig on PE3.

Will definately be going back to Coral Bay.

Cheers Jayce
