Latest reef trip
Got the chance to duck out just before the weather went rotten. It was the second trip for my new custom rod combo and I was keen to give it another good going over. Once I found out the 50lb old rod had a broken guide it wasn't a hard decision between a handline and the 30lb outfit!! We chased Spanish most of the day so only fished 5 spots.
Being so light I got bricked many times across the course of the day in the country we fished but still landed some quality fish. I can't wait for the 50lb model still in the works!!
The Youtube vid is part of a number of fish we boated for the day and we got some good footage to add to the next DVD I'm making up. Among the catch were Spangled emperor, Trout, Spanish Macks, Gold Spot Trevally, big GTs, the big red, even 2 big Batfish and the list went on. We even got some good footage of a big Sailfish buzzing one of our Mackerel baits. A pity she didn't take it.
Enjoy the pics and video.

PS. excuse Erica's language, to her defence she did lose a good fish!!

Some nice fish in that
Some nice fish in that lot,
Dont know if I would want to risk fighting a red like that from the deep in Exmouth on 30lb gear. Hard enough beating the sharks with the big stuff :)
