just came back from a week in exmouth and struggled to get into any decent fish. Everyday the north easterly was blowing 20knots which ruled out the gulf side (and was so dirty vis was less than 1m) so launched at tanta's hoping to muck around inside the reef until the wind dropped. Basically the wind never dropped so most fishing was done on the inside. The plan of atack was to drift the shallows flicking skindeeps/poppers and plastics for spanglies. Only landed 2 sized for the trip and a nice 10kg + 3kg golden. Was reefed plenty of times as it was a struggle to fight the fish and to contend with the fast drift of the boat.



On the rare ocassion we could pop outside the reef we trolled but to no avail. Seemed like a lack of bait activity around. We did however come across some very small schools of stripeys and mac tuna which suprisingly took a liking to 30-40g twistys.(Thinking there was so little bait around that they were hungry and would try hit anything) Managed to land 4 of them.

Did jump in for a snorkel on a bombie in 5-6m and got some footage of a big estuary cod and a 2m sandbar shark.

Will be back up there again by the end of the year and hopefully we can get a few good days weather wise.
