Exmouth 2009 photos
Exmouth trip May 2009
Me and 2 mates went up for a week last year, neither of my mates had been up there and fished properly (when I say properly I mean, sports fishing for the thrill, not soaking baits for hours to fill the eskies with their old man as kids for instance).
I don't think I threw anything else but poppers, and after 1 or 2 days my mates were equally as convinced as they were pulling better quality and sized fish. We pretty much fished the expanses inside the reef along the west coast. I had done this type of thing twice before in the 2 years prior with a different posse of mates but they all bailed on me this time round. Suffice to say they were spitting chips becoz this was far and away the best we had done to date.
hopefully i can get this thread to work properly but please excuse me if i stuff it up on my first ever post on this website. decided it was time to contribute something after being a long time reader of this site and seeing everyone elses quality fishing photos.
dirty big squid, the DEC officers we saw later that day at the fillet station said it was the biggest they had seen in a long time...but he got me back
....but hey, I'm top of the food chain and the squid rings as thick as ya thumb for entree and spanglie for mains went down a treat
double hookup to cobia and a golden
result 1
but i got mine in, i think the noah (only one of them) bit off more than he could chew on the cobia
triple hook-up, fish landed all at the same time but no free hands for a good trio photo
another multiple hook-up, happened so often it wasn't funny, its pretty easy with the trevors, but the caramel heads were chasing our poppers in packs when it was over cast, and i havent even put the photo of our pelagics up, double hookup spanish, yellowfin tuna

fishwrecked comp
i think we miss out by a week, we are there the week after the comp to do it all over again. needless to say, the old posse are back on board this year to get a slice of what they missed last year. fingers crossed everything is fishing well for the comp and for us

welcome to the best fishing website in the world. I have spent countless hours trawling through these pages looking for tips to improve my fishing, or just drooling over the exploits of others, wishing that I could get up north more...

he loves it, he does look
he loves it, he does look pretty dodgy hey. we were hoping to get picked up as boat people and taken to the primo accomodation on Christmas island and make it an even more awesome fishing trip.
i never seen a guy so cut to get busted up by the first decent trevor he has ever hooked. All i can say is he was super elated when he boated one, should hear the video.

this years going to be the sh!t mate
especially with the primo accomodation
I still gotta get my gear repaired and serviced from last year. missing guides, dried out drag washers, low levels of braid, dimished popper supplies
probably going to get myself a backup rod for flicking poppers from the boat, just incase i pop off another guide or blow out the blank god forbid, on one of those big GTs cruising around.
i was just checking out your post from exxy 2008 last night.
