Hedland inshore surface fun and Spoil bank cyclone surf

Here are a few photos from around Hedland taken in the last month or so. The water was really muddied up after all the rain we received and the fishing went nuts as it cleared. The surface action has been intense with Brassies, Goldens, Queenies and some big G's coming up to smash stickbaits and poppers. I broke my collar bone at the beginning of it all so cheers to Renae and Brad for driving the new boat so "Gimp Arm" could get amongst it. 

Renae Mercer and her first taste of it all. 

Av Swami had had enough after a morning of constant Brassy's just like this one.

Mark Davis and Av sharing the fun. 

 

Seriously bending a 8w Innovator

Sightcast Golden from the back of the boat.

As Pilbara Brad had previously found out, whipping the water with the fly will get these suckers all wound up. To my suprise it was actually less painful for me to fly-cast then to cast spin gear. 

Renae's biggest Queenie yet. 

The following photos came from after Cyclone Bianca passed. Renae managed to capture some of the ridiculous fun that was on offer. 

"Grinder" as Brad says.

'Living the Dream' as usual. 

 

Cheers

Paul

Gotta love the water quality in those last few pics... Looks like you got onto some good fish in the end though. Queenies come up great in photo's dont they, real metalic silver.
