Recent Karratha trip

Hit up Karratha for a fishing trip while i was up there for a few days work.

Managed to get out for an arvo fish and into the night

Plan was to try for some mackies on the way out to the plateu then get some reds and rankin when we arrived.

42 mile trip out, managed to see my first spannish mackie jump a good 10+ metres out fo the water!!! what a site that was and quite a few did it aswell.

Sent down some red and white halcos 2m and 7m and managed a couple mackies. Man you have to reel those buggers in quick there to get away from the sharks!!!

On the last trawl around my mate hooked a niec big cobia!!!. First thought was a trout, but this big fella sooned donned the side of the boat!!

Managed a few rankins but the reds were not playing ball. Plenty of action on the sounder but very quiet on the red front.

Headed back in with some mackies, cobia and rankins!!!

Not a bad day at all. All pictures of mate from Bunbury up there aswell who landed a few firsts for himself.
