Coral Bay October Trip Report
So our annual month pilgrimage to Coral Bay is done and dusted for another year. Overall, not a bad trip, except for the wind which blew its arse out for 2/3rds of the month. Wont be organising a month there in Oct again, prob move back to April. Didnt get as many fish as normal due to this fact, as well as the ever present man in the grey suit, but still got some good quality fish.
The first week there was little to no action on the water as 20kn+ winds kept us fairly well planted in the pub. Did get out for a couple days though with little success. The next couple weeks turned into a bit of a blur, with mates and family all coming to visit, as well as some pretty good days on the water.
As per usual, the wife out fished everyone else, or should i say, she was in all the photos with good fish haha.
Cant wait for next april now with the new boat!!
Anyway heres some photos of some of the fish we caught.
