Return to the old stomping grounds (pictorial)

Spent a bit of time back around the islands off Onslow recently engaging in some shallow water sportfishing. Full moon made things a bit tough at the start and then towards the end, a crap southerly eventually drove us home early.

Just fished my own jigs for the week (no bait) and ended up with 27 different species. Had some great sessions in 3-4m of water with a light berley trail, awesome watching queenies, shark macks, trevs etc hitting your jig at speed just below the berley pot.

Got bricked in the shallows quite a few times but didn't lose too many fish to sharks.

Mate started fishing with stinky bait but he was soon reaching for the jig box.

Here's some pics.

Bucktail

Tue, 2017-04-25 20:02

Yeah the bucktail banana's are dynamite, particularly in the shallows.

I dropped a few heavier ones (2oz) out in 40 - 50m and got bricked on the bottom by several good fish, even on PE3.
