Albany trip

Took the opportunity a few weeks back to head down to Albany to catch up with family and head out fishing. First few days of the trip were a bit windy which forced us to chase KGW's in the sound. No monsters but managed to bag a feed and a few sandies as well. Thursday was the day. wind and swell were perfect so we headed out wide. went straight out past bald head aprox 40km's out to 70-80m. fished 3 spots and came home with a few good fish. Queen snapper, bight red fish, black arse, and a few others. great day out.


Nice Little YTK off West End

 Caught this little beauty off West End the other day. I was having a bottom bounce when I noticed some heads popping out of the water -- I quickly dropped some skirts out thinking they were tuna and my Stella 4000 nearly got spooled, he smoked me for 15 or so minutes and finally landed him despite my mate kooking the gaff -- missed twice the snagged him in the belly. All good in the end.


Few fish pics

 Haven't put many picks up lately Iv been to busy fishing but here's a few from the last months 


Today's catch !!!!

 When out this morning to pull the pot from the ski and managed to grab a few crays ...... So it was a quick trip as I had to go to Kalamunda for a appointment ..... Got back to Rocko and went for a squid fest ...... Manage to grab a fed ..... water conditions were perfect l ...... Now to add the salad ......


Got a couple more

Back out on the 5 today with a mate. Current and northerly wind has pushed the brown swan river run-off all the way to rockingham, where i was catching tuna in blue water yesterday was now brown filth and void of any pelagic action. Pushed further south into cleaner water and found the tuna again, much better size today. Blake also managed a by-catch on the stickbait


Got a couple

Ended up with a few fishes yesterday out on the 5. Pulled the pink out of the school on the sounder shot on an 80g blade bouncing away in the rod holder, only a couple touches on the plastic from the rest of his mates, definitely not as agressive as im used to when finding a decent school. Water glassed off so went out chasing the birds along the bank landing 6 tuna casting Yakamito micro jigs, the first five were around the kilo mark and didnt take any drag on the 20lb outfit so swapped out with the bream gear running 6lb, first cast got a fish over twice the size as the others always the way! Was a good 10 minutes getting that one in


Blue water classic

 My brother Matty and I Entered the blue water classic in Busselton on the weekend. We took out the heaviest black ass which was the top prize so stoked with that! Caught our bag both days too so all round great weekend.

Sea Pups first Pinkie

Took my son out fishing this afternoon with Frank. Started off slow but an hour before sundown the snapper went nuts. Ended up with 5 keepers between 55cm and 80cm, dropped another 3. My boy caught his first pink snapper followed soon by another one. Stoked!! couldn't wipe the smile off his face.


Saturday out off Bunno

Got an early start on Saturday catching the tail end of the morning bite time, bit of activity out there on a new spot catching a few small dhu and pinkies. Offsider had his SP (abrohlos paddle tail) go off. Ended up with this nice buck alongside, est 9kg was 750mm. Fish went quiet as bite time disappeared, spent a few hours looking without much success out wider. Bite time was coming back on as the wind picked up so headed back in towards early hot spot. Found a flare up on the way and dropped a decent fish and got a couple of small dhu. Earlier spot was still showing colour on it so hit it with one last drift, got hooked onto decent dhu that went 900mm and 13kg on boat scales. Was pretty happy with the day's fishing, catching fish on jig, plastic and bait throughout. Got the big girl on the last piece of fresh jigged squid. Broke a dry spell of decent fish and personal best for bunbury fishing for me. Good times!
