Exmouth Trip & FW Comp
Back in Perth after 7 days in Exmouth that included the Fishwrecked Comp- got out for 5 days including one particularly memorable day out of Bundegi for a solo sailfish and marlin double plus another sail pulling the hook at the boat and a nice cobia in the ice box.
Have great memories of dropping good fish trolling live striped tuna out from Tantabiddy in the 150s - 500s (probably just as well!!) Met some some fantastic site members, anyone who may be considering heading to Exmouth for future Fishwrecked Comps dont hesitate - its not serious just a great opportunity to meet other like minded members and share stories and build knowledge (besides Twitchy or Lucky Tim will win all the prizes anyway!) Adam and crew put on a great event and the feast at the wind up was just brilliant (how good was that YF sashimi!)
Will post up some video of the trip by the weekend.

yep was a good comp, good to
yep was a good comp, good to put some faces to names.
We got back early yesterday morning, after a long straight through drive. Had a great time in Exmouth, 9 days spent there. We have already decided we are heading back next year!! slightly longer 10-12 days.
Had a couple of great days on the water, especially the last day of the comp, where it was a double header hot zone. Managing some of the biggest trout, rankins, and spango's I've seen.
Must admit i had a ball on the back of the muirons in the shallows with plastics, got some good fish too, a nice 64cm trout on 10Lb was one of them, as well as some thumping spangos, mackies, even hooked a sail on a plastic too!
Photos to come
Good to meet Adam, Abeldog (George) Andy mac, Paul G, Goodz and more.

Great Time..
Team Twitchy also had a great time and was good to meet you all, awesome job by Adam and crew by putting together a well run comp and wind up night.. looks like we might be back next year but for a couple of weeks next time 1 week was just not long enough.
Team Twitchy will have a full trip report up soon.

Yep
Was a bloody good year for it this year, even though one day was seriously washed out it didn't stop a few teams from getting into the action. Congrats to all the entrants and winners and am looking forward to next year already. :)
