photo of black tip i got at jurien end of last week ballooning. It all happened so quickly. I didnt even get to set the line out to the distance I wanted though Im not complaining. It measured 1.64 m and weighed in at just under 26 kg

Managed to get 2 of these on Sunday night.

 This was the first one, it was quite a welcomed surprise.

Thunder storm and lightning as a back drop for Broomes wharf

Another great Rotto convoy just finished. Great job to the boys and girls from Marine Safety getting us all over there and back safely.

Sympathies to the soundman from the filmcrew that came across on the RED LEADER boat. Hope he is feeling better. The not so smooth seas did not agree with him!!

Great dinner and quiz night last night and congratulations to Hotel Rottnest for such a good spread.

Will be great next time and I am sure I will be there again.

Didnt know how to attach to the post. What do you do?? Apart from continually bombard fisheries/port authorities with evidence that they dont act on.

Got this off a mate today, and it happens every other day. Ill take a Genset and a Drill next time or just call them nasty names, seems to get a better reaction. Luckily, the fisheries still pull us locals up and count every Gardy and/or Mullet in our possesion whenever they come across us after a bait session. Thank god for that!

Also luckily, just for the record, No GT's were harmed in the making of this photo.

Gives me the shits.

 could'nt let this one go.

Welcome to modeling with fish! lol

Caught last night by a couple of mates last night north metro.

my daughter marlee with a bonnie that lost its head!

he was live, he had two 9-0s. somehow missed the hooks.

very big whatever it was, really hard run, fought it for 10 mins or more then gone! bastard.

bastard!

nice little shark

Still plenty around.

another photo out wide , waiting for the tide change

Finaly got out on the water after the 14 hr drive , our fishing wasnt as good as adams but the conditions couldnt have got any better , cruised out towards the rigs at 28knots in a tin boat , got a few small ones but got setup for the next few days , will be good if its stays just like this

Just an example of using iki jime, not only to dispatch your fish, but to give them a colour boost for your photos.  In the high res versions you can see every blue dot brilliantly whilst in the straight out of the water shot, they blend into the skin colour.  Yesterdays 750mm fish.

Not sure why this little guy was out to sea

Late start, on water by 11.  Trolled out in the 600's for a blue with no love for about 4 hours.  Had 5 drops on the goldband spot for 8 fish (bag) and went in for a trout.  Gribbo hooked up first and got toweled up on a massive trout, 10 seconds later I pulled up what I reckon was his smaller twin at 750.  Gribbo got toweled up again on a few more whilst I sat back and enjoyed a beer, good day out in joy conditions.

Fish and chips from yesterday.

For any of those that missed it and to get a bit of excitement for those coming up in the next few weeks.  Lucky Timbo and my first Blue.  Not that many out there at the moment and its been hard going, hopefully things will change this week with the AIBT starting tomorrow.  Atleast we will have excellent surface reports to go on for the FW comp!

took it on the way to the cervantes holiday house.

Planning for our next Kimberley trip in April when I came cross this pic of my boat at Croc Creek. Mines the small one.

Hey guys,

Managed to beach this 95cm Greenback between Albany and Augusta last week, it was an epic occasion for everyone involved.

Thanks to Jez and the Mathers

perfect casting distance!
