Quick Karratha trip

Had to head up to Karratha for a day for work and couldnt head up there without trying to get out for a fish. Gave a mate of mine a call and it was on... all we needed was good weather!

 

The ride! was a tough day in this.

 

30ft Westcat, only 5 weeks old. Twin 300 Verardo's. only one word could discribe this thing....insane!

Weather held up!

 

Didnt get too many photos of fish because i thought I'd see how filleting my finger with a swebo would go....so didnt / couldnt take too many pics.

 

Day ended up with Reds, Rankins, Saddle tails, sharks, Mack's... Good day. True to the word, big bait big fish, snelled 10's won hands down in the fish tally department.

Fished 47-50 metres

 

1st drop out deep.

Couple of the fish

 

Hoping to get up there again shortly for a monte's trip the boys are planning!

Yeah gotta agree it is a sweet rig, nice upgrade for Rocco. Been out on it a couple of times now certainly gets going for the size of it and heaps of deck space.

Rocco's a top bloke, Never saw his previous rig, except from a photo, 7.5m with only 2.5m width.

 

His new one is awesome. You really notice the size of the deck when your sitting up the front looking out the back when travelling along. Easily a 5-6 person fishing flatform.

The new Gen 2 verardo's are super quiet!

 

Pretty sure he said these reds were the first up on his new tub!!

Love that centre bait board, great idea. Not wrong about the deck space. I bought a couple of Swibos recently Bodie and man are they sharp and stay sharp.
