Submitted by kamo king on Wed, 2012-04-18 09:54
Finally have got time to post a report and post a few photos from our trip up to Exmouth for the comp.
Weather wasn’t that kind to us this time but still ended up getting out most days and getting amongst it, got a few good fish reds eluded us again this year weather didn’t help.
Had the dropsy’s with the marlin had to pull the lures in a few times just to check the hooks were still in!!! managed a little saily. Good to see a few familiar faces up there, again cheers to Ads again for the Comp was enjoyed by all bring on next year

Fully agree faulkners
Its top table fare, especially when you have a banana-bender over for a BBQ and tell him he is eating it. Nearly chocked in the fish. LOL. Once he calmed down rated it very highly.
Not as good as Robbo's though.

great pics!
But it doesnt look like anyone is having a good time? Not a smile to be seen.
Cigatuera-not known to be even found in WA BUT-I recall reading a story a fair few years ago on the subject written by one of the prominent local writers such as Mike Rooenfeldt or similar. It related how on a fishing trip to the Rowley Shoals he was certain one or 2 people got some ciguetera poisoning from a fish.
Quite distinctive I believe because among other things it reverses the senses, and cool feels scorching and vice versa.
Thats the only possible WA case I have heard of.
