exmouth landbased
Submitted by EL SYD on Sun, 2012-09-23 07:16
here are some landbased pics of my Aug-Sept trip in exmouth,
alll I can say is the landbased scene was a lot of walking and no fish, my usal haunts produced zip but did see a lot of whales on the horizon and turtles one even knee capped me in the surf,
I might mention that this was where my lures had the most hits where I waded out to the reefs edge but for the life of me could not get a solid hookup, maybe if I dropped the lure size down, who knows.
well anyway here are some of my exmouth monster fish and echidna on the beach

cant handle fishing with one
cant handle fishing with one rod it would drive me nuts, it would be like playing golf with one stick,
I use my exmouth holidays to christen my gear so they can all have a fish
. Yep I do get some strange looks at the carparks when I mule up, ol Blake from oceanside was proberly wondering what he was getting into, will admit his light approach outfished me,

Toys!
You do have some very nice toys there mate, I will give you that! haha. The walk we did was surprisingly not that bad and a good day for sure. I think we could add some lighter outfits to your arsenal though

going lite is all well and
going lite is all well and good but what happens when something big comes along, overkill is under-rated

Sense of adventure
Where is your sense of adventure? How many times have you found yourself holding a small outfit and something big turns up, you always have a shot at it knowing full well that you might see your lure and most of the line disappear for good.
Thats what attracts us to fishing and it would be boring if you had all bases covered before heading off.
