Exmouth Thursday Report

Just got in from a GREAT arvo's fishing.  Unfortunately log on to the site to see some d**khead trying to start stuff, sigh.  Anyway, went out about 3.30 this arvo and was expecting 3 knot northerlies, ended up being 15, spewn.  Anyway decided to troll some skirts and raised two very fiesty sails in the first hour and a half and a very inquisitve dolphinfish, unfortunately no hookup.  We decided to try a bit deeper and with no interest for the next 2 hours except one little zip decided to head in.  As we were slowly starting to motor in the wind died off to its forecast 3 knots and up flared the bottom showing some good signs of fish.  A quick drift and bang, solid hookup and a nice little rankin cod, things were looking promising.  Next drift another big hookup, only to be disappointed with a 6kg golden trevally which felt like a red.  On the way up the golden also brought two rat dolphinfish, but with nothing to throw at them they just cruised around and disappeared.  Another few more drifts and we got an 8kg cobia and 2 just size spanglies.  On the way in past north west reef the birds were going nuts and on closer inspection we discovered 8-10kg longtails with solid shark mackerel jumping all over the surface and busting up small baitfish.  Second cast and whammo, 10 minutes of getting toweled up on 6kg and sharked, doh!  As it was getting dark we headed in and grabbed a coldie to celebrate a quick arvo session.  Only took one photo, but a beautiful sunset none the less. ;)

Anything over 10 is a bit windy for me Pete, I'm a bit delicate these days and don't like my beer being shaken too much. LOL ;)

Yep it's open Rob.  There are the occasional queenies that pass through and a few resident yellowfin bream and theres always schools of whiting passing through.  Mostly just inhabited by batfish thou. :(
