Exmouth from my missus' point of view (lies)

 

Hi guys,

We had an even better day in the boat with crazy Eddie yesterday.

I landed the first fish (again), a shark mackerel, apparently that's a big one (Pic 1). View Exmouth August 2012 131.JPG in slide show
 
Then Syd got runs on the board with this big GT, we're guessing high 20's maybe close to 30kg (Pic 2). View Exmouth August 2012 145.JPG in slide show
 
Then I answered back with an even BIGGER GT! I think mine's bigger, Syd is arguing that it was the same size. I'll let you be the judge (Pic 3). (It's so bigger!) View Exmouth August 2012 150.JPG in slide show
 
Then we saw a whale shark. We cast lures at it but there weren't any cobias under it :) (Pic 4). View Exmouth August 2012 158.JPG in slide show
 
Then Syd caught a shark mackerel and we were even (Pic 5). View Exmouth August 2012 162.JPG in slide show
 
It was nearly time to go home and Eddie decided we should try catch a bill fish on our way back. So I drove the boat (Pic 6) while he set up the outriggers. :D View Exmouth August 2012 166.JPG in slide show
 
And then I caught a sail fish! WOO HOO! It was friggin' huge and I caught it on a 15kg spin outfit. Go me. Fish of the trip (Pic 7 & 8). View Exmouth August 2012 172.JPG in slide show

And today is our last day here and we're sad cos we're not ready to come home. And it's been raining all night and all morning (how lucky are we that we got the good weather yesterday!). So we got in the car to go to the shops to get some things for the road trip back and lo and behold.....the car wouldn't start! HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! YIIIPPPEEEEEE!!!! We'll have to stay cos we can't drive anywhere. Alas, the local mechanic had a battery that was just the right size. Sigh. So we will be on our way tomorrow and will slowly make our way back up the coast and will be home soon.

If ever you're in Exmouth and want to go fishing in a boat just ring Eddie from Peak Sportfishing. What a legend.

The pics probably need to be hosted on a website, not copy and pasted from an email or from a file on your computer.
