Tailor at Hangover Bay
Manie and I had another surf fishing session at Hangover Bay near Cervantes. Manie is a good mate and my surf fishing mentor who has taught me most of what I know regarding surf fishing. We lived in Kalgoorlie and frequented Esperance, Roses, Poison Creek, Point Culver etc. - great waters to learn this skill.
Ok, enough of the mate stuff and more of the fishing stuff. I arrived at the beach a little earlier than Manie as I was keen to get a couple of photos and Manie had a golfing commitment to honour. I decided to make my way to our favorite spot by myself (not good advice - see the video) to set up and introduce some burley into the water.
Once Manie arrived we set up the heavy gear with sliding baits and used the lighter gear to chase Herring which we were hoping to use as live bait. To our surprise we were immediately into the Tailor at 3 in the afternoon and were catching them at almost a fish a cast. This continued until just after sunset when the Westerly churned up the water loosening the weed in the process.
Manie managed a monster Ray on his slide bait before we called it a day at around midnight and made our way back to Perth satisfied with the result of a couple of hours of fishing.

Often a toss up between the camera and the rod

Is there a better way to spend an afternoon
I don't think so, good fishing good mate and idyllic conditions make for a memorable day. That's a great vid you have posted and I thank you for sharing it with us. The shot of the evening sky with the torch being used is I think really good.
Do we share a good environment, you betch ya.

Phantom 4 Pro
Has a semi decent 20MP still camera and can shoot up to 4K at 60 frames per second. Has all the collision avoidance sensors which makes flying a little less riskier.
