Exmouth - Coral Bay pics

3 weeks in Exmouth and 2 weeks in Coral Bay. Exmouth was mostly rubbish weather and sharks, we got there the day before the flood. Coral Bay was better weather and hardly any sharks.

That half a red you are holding alongside the boat in the 5th pic would have been a ripper. As usual you scored some top fish, well done.

I was devo when the big Red got done, It put up a great fight and I almost had it to the boat. Then that dreaded pull feeling of a shark. Still got 1kg of filliets off it and the wings.

 Some very good fish there and some awesome photos, I think you got the best of the CB weather. It has got a little average since you left.

I see Maverick the horse also came visiting.

red heads?

Sun, 2014-06-08 18:03

gday , Pretty sure we spoke at the garage in carnarvon, when you were filling up, on saturday

you said the sharks wore you down in exm, but like us found alot less in coral bay wide or in shallower.

Thats a nice saddletail snapper , isnt it? your missus is holding, never caught one before, or even seem one , so well done.

I am surprised in a way , you did so well in what is a relatively small boat, for those waters, nothing like sticking it up

the big cats , etc etc when in a more economical tub, and still killing it aye?

catch ya.
