Just got back from exmouth after roughly about a week there. Here's a quick report of our trip.

The first few days were spent off tanta's with the plan to troll until we found some good looking ground to flick plastics around. Got 4 mackies in the first 2 days without really trying so that allowed us to focus more on fishing with plastics. After getting buried countless times on 20lb by what we finally managed to land a few fish. Highlights were a nice coranation trout and a 3kg coral trout.

A few days in and we were joined by Petervb from the site and went out for a fish. Headed north of tanta's in search of some ground to chuck softies around. Got a few red throat but by this time the wind picked up and drift was too quick which made lure's diffucult (and expensive). Resorted to fresh bait and scored a 10kg cobia and a 5kg trout not too mention all the red throats.

Checked out the bay of rest on one of the days but was really quite down there with visability in the gulf not the greatest. Did get a couple of jack on the straight hooks for dinner tho.

Also checked out Murions which we did a bit of fishing and free diving. The corals/bombies and visability around the island are amazing. Heaps of fish about even saw a good red bass (damn they are one mean looking fish!). Caught a heap of spanglies, blue line and a baby cobe. Saw possibly one of the coolest things too.. was just getting ready to move spots when we turn to the back of the boat where we saw a mackie grab a flying fish out of mid air, it would have jumped a good 5-10m into the air (no shit) with the flying fish out hanging out of it's mouth. It looked so elegant in the air which is a weird thing for a fish! After that display i chucked out a pusher which got me a 20kg? longtail for my trouble (geez they go hard)

Last day we went back to the old faithful spot where we got smashed day one. Similar result with 2 good coranation trout, a little rankin and a long fin snapper from out deep.

Was a good trip with good company and plenty of fish. Weather wasnt too shabby either! Cant ask for much more.

Oh and how tasty are coronation trout! Just polished off a bit for dinner tonight and it was brillant.
