First trip to the abrolhos islands

Just got back from first trip out to the islands and it was unbelievable!

We fished the Southern group for some shallow water action for some nice spangles up to 5 kilo, heaps of big pinkies up to 10 kg in 10 mtrs on softies and bait, the pinkie population is amazingly healthy! Everywhere, any depth. some nice baldies and trout. I got a big dhuie on a red mullet mcarthy plus the other 5 dhuies for the trip easy peasy.

Pulled 2 pots for 30 crays in 7 mtrs water( my pots!) scored quite a few 15 kg mackies trolling and saw a pod of dolphins heading north with a couple of big marlin leaping along with them but couldn't keep up with them.

This was the first trip just grazing over some favorite spots so can't wait to search a bit further. This year is a cracker . The trip up was pretty good but a bit bumpy. Got some nice dollies off jurien fad and turtledove looks to be insane with some spannies,a big gold spot rev and a hookup on a black which hit matts small redhead diver with tiny hooks!

Get up there guys and don't miss out on a once in a blue moon year! I'm thinking about doing some group day trips mid week or 2 dayers as I'm free tues and wed. 5 grand for a 2 day midweek trip.??? I'll post some photos very soon or if you want to see them checkout Facebook on saltwatercharterswa now .

Thanks to Matt and co for doing the trip up.

Regards,craig
