Coral bay may 2017
Coral bay this year was one for the family and a memory for our hearts. This year was a bit harder than normal as we returned to coral bay since losing my niece a year ago to brain cancer so this year was a memory year off the great times we had in coral bay with her over the years.
fishing was a bit hit and miss at times and sharks were still in big number (cull needed) we got into some great fish with the family got my 2 nephews out a fair bit and they got into some great reds and other fish was awesome with them after what they both been through the past year. Got some great reds and my old boy got an awesome 9.5kg saddle tail catch of the trip. Did few days deep dropping nothing massive or anything that was good got sharked. Few screen shot of the sounder on here to new set up with the simrad nss12 evo 2 running a in hull m260 brilliant set up happy with how well and easy it is to use.
First trip also up this year with my daughter and hanging down at the beach with the wife and her was definitely one to remember even got her out for a fish at 1 year old was great fun
Already looking forward to next year

Great trip!
Top fish mate, thate saddle tail is a great catch! What depths are getting with the M260. Interested why you chose the M260 rather than a M265?

Crano was waiting for it
Crano was waiting for it also waiting for you to come clean it but ya never showed
stevo at the time it was a cheap transducer to buy and didn't have $1800 to get a m265 with chirp but I tell you what the m260 straight off the unit no bsm unit at all still reading ing 500+ meters also will get the screen shot of the unit was mint
chinbald yer mate those boys are troopers the way they hold them selves up after loosing there sister is definitely a proud uncle moment
josh the saddle tail record I think is only 5.5kg from what I can see so that would have smashed it at 9.5kgs
timmy k haha yer Robbie is a dodgy fella but does listen so is more than welcome on the boat again

How many drops were you
How many drops were you getting on a spot before the sharks moved in? We were lucky to get one before we had to move when we were up last year...
