stickbaited sailfish

stickbaited sailfish

Got this nice sail yesterday in Exmouth Gulf on a cast and retrieved stickbait. We were drifting and it refused the garfish numerous times but took the stickbait after 5 casts about 5m from the boat. It didn't get the chance to fight much as I wanted it in the boat asap- I'd always wanted one on a cast lure so wasn't going to lose it. It released well. Earlier Dave also got his first sail sight cast on a gardie and we finished the day off with 2 big coral trout on softies and light gear.

Nice fish there Tim. They certainly are great fun to catch and it would have been so cool to catch one that way.

Nice work Tim. Must be pretty awesome to cast for billfish. I'm trolling tomorrow, hopefully I'll get a nice Pacific Blue in the boat.
