Hey guys, long time no post by me, have been trying to upload reports regularly but seems my phone and its photo resolution is not compatible with the forum and the pictures come out all skew-whiff, so have had to upload to a third party photo sharing website first.

Finally ticked off the metro mack for this season, didnt think it was going to happen after a run of bad luck with 2 fish going full airborne on the strike and missing the hooks and getting snipped off by another while targeting sambos in the shallows. New PB for me at 1.44m

Took dad out a little while ago to chase some fillets. Halfway across the sound I realised I had forgotten the sounder and only had the GPS. All the fish come off the one spot, and after only ever catching 1 baldie off Perth before, we ended up with 3 in one session.

Have been taking advantage of the very little swell off Perth lately and sneaking into some gnarly ground hoping for some tailor out of the whitewash, some sessions better than others but I think if I het them at sunrise or sunset I would be in for a hot session. Havent had any luck on poppers yet, all the fish have been caught on stickbaits or plastics.

Last year I won a $1400 reel through Recfishwests FADs photo comp and was honoured to find out they were going to run the photo on the front cover of their 90 page Annual Report.

I also feature in the current Western Angler, where I answer some questions about how I got into fishing and some of my favourite styles and share some techniques on how I target YTK.

On Good Friday I took the young fella out for a quick session around the inshore reefs for some fun on herring and we come across a little school of big snook which was a lot of fun on the plastics. We had a good laugh as he got to experience first hand at how smelly and slimey they can be.

I snuck out yesterday arvo for a quick anchor and burley session in the shallows hoping for some big autumn skippy but with the lack of swell recently I might have to wait a bit longer before I see any around the reefs. Had a red hot session just flicking back mulie cubes on the 12lb gear, landing a handful of 50cm kings and a bunch of 40cm pinkies and skippy. As I was packing up so I could be home before dark the big rod went off and after a decent tug of war I boated one of the best kingies Ive caught in a long while, going just under 1.1m and with very fat sides, this fish had been gorging on the abundance of bait out there at the moment!
