weekend at kalbarri
had a mate who booked accomidation and 3 days of fishing on a 7.1m center console over the weekend at kalbarri. friday through to saturday.
He told me to come up and stay at the place as they had a spare bed and also a spare spot on the boat, all expenses paid (what good mates i have).
I missed out on the first days fishing as i had uni on friday, but after uni on friday i packed the cruiser and drove overnight to kalbarri, arriving at 12:30am.
Was met at the front of the house by my mate and was told the fridays fishing was very quiet. not many fish landed, which was not good news. I was too excited to sleep so me and my mate went to gather some bait. We went to the river and got a dozen baby mullet and yellowtail.
The next morning we got on the boat and headed out to the skippers secret spot, and on the way out we popped for some tailor at oysters reef. Just let me say, Your dreamin if your popping for tailor with a 1000ci4 and a 1-3kg rod. I lost so many poppers and stick baits and couldnt land one tailor. closest i got was boatside and lost, they were that big! lost of surface hits.
we arrived at the spot, anchored and got fish non stop for 4 hours. 10 mulloway 5-10kg, snapper, dhuies, cobia, coral trout just to name a few. we got home filleted the ones we kept and forgot to take a photo. damn.
The next morning we went for a troll around waego area and cleaned up. got a hit every 10 minutes and at one stage had a 4 way hook up, landing only 2. and the highlight was a big 20kg YFT. after troll we did somemore bottom work and also pulled up a few mulloway, coral trout , snapper, BA and dhuie.
Was a awesome weekend. Gee i <3 my mates.
Photos were from the last day (sunday 25th march)

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Some good fish there - shame
Some good fish there - shame no better pic of that big trout, looks bloody solid
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
