Exmouth in October!
Hey guys!
Here is some pictures from my recent trip to exmouth.
Was my second trip but a lot of firsts, as last year the weather was insane.
This year wasn't too bad, got out in the boat each day inside the reef mostly, but got out behind the reef a couple of times and and in the gulf for a day. Still though the wind was southerly most days, and really strong which was uncomfortable, but we still managed!
In the gulf we trolled around and caught a few spotted mackerel, and saw so so many whales!
Inside the reef we just used poppers and lures, and caught a variety of great fish!
As my photos show, I caught my first GT, watch this thing come from 30-40m away and smash my popper, was amazing! Was thinking wow now this is exmouth!! Put up a great fight and I was stoked!
Also caught my first gold spot trevally!
Another highlight of the trip was watching a spanish mackerel chase down my popper and have 3 goes at it, unfortunately not hooking up! Was amazing to watch though!
But the main type of fish caught was the hard fighting spangled emperor!! We caught many of these in shallow water and lost a few as well (including our poppers!). Such hard fighting fish in shallow water and to see them come up to grab a popper was something you don't forget in a hurry!
Other types of fish we caught were cobia and heaps of charlie courts!
All in all was a good trip, and can't wait for the next trip!

great fishing
Great fishing Percula,
Gotta love those shallow water Spangles. I like the Enviro net and the lures. I'll be there in January getting my arms sore. Hopefully not windy and big fish in the heat.
