A few fishies since my last post
With the weather cooling down the inshore fishing is definitely starting to heat up. All the following fish are from five fathom and closer in. Here are a few pics since my last post..
I jumped on with Shikari a little while back, great to get out on a charter with only a small crew and learn from the Snapper Whisperer himself. It was a funny old morning with the 2 guys up the front bagging out relatively quick and Al and myself down the back pulling donuts, everyone had a good chuckle about it all.
Webby had 2 on the deck before the sun was even up.
Another day where I got out-fished on my own tub! Marko(hoookt) with a few kings and another donut for myself.
Dad is a bit of a stinky baito and ever since I told him the story of how good live and butterflied wrasse went on the dhuies on a trip north once its all he wants to have on the end of his line. He had a great hookup on ffb recently and my brother and I convinced him there was a dhu on the other end (we both knew what it really was.) Hows the disgusting bend in that Ugly Stick. We never let him borrow any of our rods!
On the board with this chunky sambo pulled out of gnarly ground in 4m of water, one of the best fights ive had for sure.
Seems to be an almost resident school of tuna hanging on the back edge of the ffb, ive seen a few splashes and birds hanging in the same area for a month or so now. This one I hooked casting a 14g Yakamito micro jig, was an awesome fight on 6lb and 1000 size reel.
Plenty of nice squid in the sound at the moment, Joel with a 28cm hood specimen. This colour Yamshita is absolutely slaying at the moment.
Had an anchor and burley sesh nice and close in on Monday morning, it looked really promising with nice murky water after the weekends big blow. Only took 15mins after anchoring for my plastic to get woofed down in the burley trail and it was mayhem for the next 3 hours with rods going off every few minutes, pinkies were right up the back of the boat sitting just off a burley pot halfway to the bottom, the plastics getting smashed with the rod just sitting in the holder. The skippy soon moved in and the sambos were not far behind them. We lost way more fish than we saw but with us just out on a catch and release session we didnt even care! Belter of a morning.
Hope you enjoyed the pics fellas.
Beau.

Halco octoskirt, its a
Halco octoskirt, its a plastic sweetener, put that on the jighead first then put your regular soft plastic on, acts as a bit of an attractor. I used bright pink that morning over the top of my white 5inch grub as it was still gloomy conditions and very murky water so stuck out a bit underwater. They come in glow aswell which i use alot for my sunrise and sunset fishing

So my setup looks like this.
So my setup looks like this. Makes a huge difference in catch rates. Al Bevan runs all his plastic like this and i believe Jazz charters does aswell

Few nice days on the water there.
Looks like nice conditions and decent fish to go with it. Skirt on the plastic is interesting, anything that helps increase hook ups is alright in my book.

Very good clean pics
Thank you for sharing your pics and story with us, it is very much appreciated, and thanks for passing on the bit of trickery of adding an octo skirt to the soft plastic jig head.

Nice report
IMO, Beau has posted up the perfect report.
Has good pics, good storytelling and some funny stuff added. It doesn't need to be 1m demersals or 1.5m pelagics. It's about sharing the fishing experience with fellow fishos! Good job!
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!

Thanks for the kind words everyone, as you can imagine it is a bit of a mission uploading to the image hosting site then writing each caption on here then copying and pasting each image over so I'm glad you all enjoyed, much appreciated.
