Finally some good weather
G'day all just thought I'd get off me bum and do a report,
The bureau of met got it right this time and predicted us (Karratha) some good weather.
Went and got some crabs on Sat night and celebrated our success with a few beers. Up not so bright and early the next morning we were soon roaring across Nickol Bay to soak a few baits at the Burrup. Had a few good runs with Zee battling one aboard at 630mm, with only a few more runs and Ash getting her 1st little Trout and a few Snapper (Retic emperor), we decided to try to get thru Searipple Passage to some squidding ground. We left our run a little late and had run out of water, so it was time to do a liitle exploring. I had marked a couple of isolated reefs further out so we made a beeline to the first one. Anchoring just off the ref (my fault) we dropped anyhoo, it was a little quiet so I cast over to the reef and hooked up instantly witha a nice snapper. Repositioned we all enjoyed a myriad of bustoffs, Snapper (most released), a nice cod and a couple of good Trout. Looking back towards Karratha I noticed some ominous looking clouds and decided to make the 16nm trip home, didn't get rough but we did get wet.
Hope yas like the pics and thanks for reading my ramblings
I would like to put all the images here but I can't figure it out!!
Cheers Daisy

Good stuff Daisy
Sounds like you had a good time and got some good fish. There is nothing like fishing in the Pilbara.

Yeah heard from a couple of mates up there in Karratha that went out as well.
They headed north from the burrup not too sure how far out
They managed a few big trout, estimated 760mm - 860mm and some nice rankin so im told, but no reds.
Heard the crabs are going real well up there as well, have a couple coming down this weekend :D
