Exmouth Fishing

 Went out fishing today on a mates boat, left the marina just after 6am for the run up to the tip of the cape. Got to the cape and put out a spread of 3 lures to try for some mackies while on the way to the fishing grounds. Had one run, but the lure was dropped, so we kept going and found some gound in around 50m of water. Sent my a halco gold twisty jig down and on the 3rd drop got a nice golden trev around 60cm. sent him back down. My fishing buddy got a hookup and pulled up his first red. He was pretty happy !

 

Few more drops and got a few small charlies and a couple of small snapper, sent them all back, then kept getting busted off by sharks so gave up that spot and moved on. Went searching in some deeper water and found an awesome path in 90m. Got this double hookup was pretty happy.

And got this one a few drops later.

 

 

Was a top day out, ended up with 4 fish each in the esky and phil got a nice spango on the last drop of the day. We were both pretty tired by about 2pm so headed in. Couldn't have asked for better weather all day.

Nice leasurely crusie back down to the gulf to the marina !

 

Cheers Joel

Marlin Caught Last Tuesday

Hi all,

Has anyone read the article about the record Marlin caught?

Apparantly it towed the boat and took seven hours to land the Marlin. 11kg heavier than the previous record marlin, it was caught on 80lb line if im not mistaken.

Cheers all
