Kalbarri

Well i just arrived home from my Kalbarri fishing trip.

It was a funny trip away with the first laughs staring when we were driving up there. We had been driving for 7 hours and i seen a sign saying " shire of shark bay " :lol:  We missed the Kalbarri turnoff by 120klm!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:  :twisted:
Lucky we had just enough fuel to get back to Kalbarri!

As soon as we got unpacked we went strait to the cliffs. DAMM! It was rough as! Massive swells! Couldnt fish goats gulch all week! :twisted:

Tryed to fish red bluff but had a few close calls so we gave that a miss.

Fished fishermans jetty in the river all week. Landed a total of i recon about 50 undersized mulla's! At least the river is very healthy

Only beach spot fishable was blue holes. Caught 3 good sized skippy. Lots of bust offs . I was using occy on the bottom.

Had a few injuries , fell down a hole in the reef at blue holes and cut knee up :lol:
I was lazy and threw knife into my fishing bag then went into my bag to get tackle out and sliced finger open on the knife :twisted:

Oh well it was a good holiday away from work :wink:
Here are some pics....

Hi Brenz,

Didnt get a chance to use tghe cliff gaff but yeah all the other hooks, lures etc were magic!!!! My mate bought the penn 450ss you had there. He is happy as!

Unfortunatly we left alot of the lures and gang hooks connected to the blueholes lol
