Stopped at a spot on the way in today that showed a good school of fish and dropped a 20g jig down and was quickly eaten. Unsure of what I had, as I presumed the school to be skippy and clearly I wasnt fighting a skippy, needless to say I was suprised to catch my first baldy on a 30g jig rod! This topped off a good day with my mate Pauly (rocklobster), ended up baggin out with 2 dhus a black bum and this fella.
PS- If ya dont like the F word, dont watch the vid lol

Scored this nice pinky last night, bang on 5kg gilled and gutted

Looked small coming up so i didnt bother with the gaff, then i grabbed the leader and tried to haul it up and it grew..

Half way up im thinking this is a bad idea but my knots and rig held up to the punishment and was safely landed.

Sorry about dodgy cropping but i dont wanna go back in the coming weeks and not be able to get a spot..

Had a couple of other bites but no hookups, was a bit of a surprise anyway.

caught out on the bank in 40s
went just over 20kg.

 Bit of sounder porn, schooling pinkies off busso, me and a mate found in his tinny whilst heading in. Picked some real corkers up out of it and a couple of nice dhu' s to go with it. Catch is from two boats on same spot.

 Asked for help on here on behalf of my mate, no thanks to me but she found some guys to help out and had a ball with big squid and few mackie

well another year has come and gone to quick. we recently just got back from abrohlos islands with craig and omar from saltwater charters. unfortuantly the weather wasnt to kind for us with only one day of nice weather. but the fishing was still constant enough to be happy.... very happy.

we left thursday night in some rough conditions but was worth it when we got out there with some nice pink snapper hitting the decks mainly on artificials and some big sharks on the second day we found a shoal with some bird action first ever cast with a stick bait for me resulted in a nice shark mack the rest of the boys had a ball on the shark macks dan lost a nice yellowfin and left with our tail between our legs the rest of the days were filled with filling our freezers with coral trout dhu bangers snapper and baldies... special mention on the demersal front has to go to wazza with this 810 mm trout caught on jig in midwater (note the stray hook in the mouth) omar the decky got this confused trout "sambo jigging" on the seriola and trolling sideof things might get some nice mackies tuna even a sambo on the troll nice aj on jig special mention on thisfront is pani with this awesome mackie on bull chop cheers for taking the time to have alook scott

Braved the cold in search for a greenback this morning and half a dozen casts in the dark and Bang solid hook up.Result 70 cm big girl on a 105mm halco rooster.Had my 2500 Stradic singing, almost towed me back to its reef lair 3 times.Photo doesn't do it justice.Stoked as.Cheers

great morn with my eldest boy,(andy) I may turn him into a fisherman yet .both of us caught heaps ,great day ,top feed,diff spot from yesterday.few beers to match..over the moon,

best he had caught prior was a 5 kilo dhue boy, me being me felt sorry for the little fella.t ook him out this morn, Jarvis walker reel, a rod you would give to a 5 year old. but kicked my ass. My line is worth more than his outfit. All I got was big baldie. Well done dave on p.b.  Crap gear good fish..14.8 kilo not a bad way to start the account

 Well what a trip and we did have a ball out there on the water was up there for 3 weeks of beautiful weather well except the first week with rain 

got some great fish up but also got a heap of sharks which were a pain as normal 

this was my first trip up to coral bay with a boat under 6 meters well just anyway I went far and wide in my boat as people no it's for sale as I'm upgrading to a family boat. But this is what you can catch in mine even in rough weather

had 1 off my best days fishing with my old boy bagged out by 1 and was in by 2 he out fished me big Time getting 3 awesome goldband was a great father son day and another memory I have that is one to remember 

the wife got her first marlin and she out fished me also but I'll just say I'm deck hand and don't really fish when she is on the boat lol but still happy if she is happy and if it's catching fish then I can't complain it was a great trip got to meet some new people and I can't wait for next year.

if anyone is interested in my boat feel free to ask I need it gone to make way for the new boat. It does catch fish as you can see 

Here are some pictures from my March Trip to my folks place at Borroloola, 260km east of the NT/QLD boarder in the Gulf or Carpentaria. The bigger fish are land based, fishing the Macarthur River crossing 2kms from town. Using mostly soft plastic with a very slow retrieve either at sunset or sunrise. Chronarch e7200 & G Loomis 5 8'. Got a couple of pigs too which was a bonus.

 the days count down and R&R finaly came and a week of some of the best weather ive even had greeted me as i got home to Albany, managed some awesome fish and did a lot of exploring including one day where i walked 7km with my backpack, ropes,cliff gaff and a 28ft pole gaff.
highlights include my 14kg sambo on a 3012H certate and plastic off the rocks solo while fishing about 7m up and had to cliff gaff it myself, Aron's 22kg sambo on the 50lb setup that gave him hell for ages before coming in, Aron with a magic double header of breaksea and harlequin off the stones. heap of good fish caught but off to work again and counting the days till 2 weeks at steep point after this swing.

 Took my mate out on tuesday to a spot north of rotto fishing in 30mt of water. 1st drop I hooked a 620mm skippy on a jig then we landed 5 dhuies one was leagal but was released. Then I had a big hook up felt like a big dhu the way it was fighting lost it to knot failure on my top snelled hook. Mate had a big hook up on a shark rig ran him into the reef. Then all went quiet for a few hours mate got a 430mm goat fish. Decided to come in close to hillarys to try for pinkys mate landed a 890mm 7kg pinky on a 1 foot shark  bait. We had a few more sniffs but no more hook ups. All in all we had a great day and managed a good feed.

2 cali classics still going strong ,I haven't lost this one yet,my boys lost a few ,not many jigs can compete in my books,very strong winds today (clear water) , just got to use them properly,12 to 30 feet top of the wazza.I do a fair bit of squiding normal jigs (cloth coated) last 3 to 5 trips.2 years on just starting to wear in a few spots,

.

 My first pinky on a sp went 8 kilos

 hey there guys just thought that i would share the success we had tonight. i decided that i would go for a fish an take my cousin so at 5pm we headed off. After about an hour we set out some fresh baits an waited then all of a sudden both rods took of at once an i thought that we were both hooked on the same fish but was not the case we had both hooked up on different mullies at the same time and back home before 7pm. That was a quick trip an i was told i could keep going if i could get these results all the time

 Caught a couple big pigs within minutes of each other ... On Sgt baker (dhu candy)

 Managed to get out on jazz charters on Sunday with a few mates, and what a day we had. Snapper on the bite all day with the plastics and jigs getting smashed nearly every drop.

only using plastics and jigs on the gomoku and 20lb gear, doesn't get any better than that.

easily the best metro charter I've been on, great bunch of blokes and puts you on the fish. Cannot wait to get back out there with them.

cheers 

Reece

and swim'6.850 nw blowie ,l.o.l

Jumped on a mates boat yesterday and got stuck into the salmon in the shallows. Not huge numbers of fish like it was 2 weeks ago but still some decent size packs of fish lurking around. Hooked 2 fish on the 1 lure a couple times and I managed to catch the same fish twice within the hour, who says salmon are slow learners??

Cheers,
Beau.

Unreal day on jazz

It was a bit rough and cold Saturday morning but well worth it before the N/E got too strong. It was worth wearing the beanie and thermo's most of the hour we were fishing. Ending up getting a nice feed of whiting (42) with some real big thumpers around 181gm but mostly fat plump ones to fillet.

got my personal best dhu on firday~~ launch at woodie~

weighted about 20kg

 me and a mate headed down to local jetty other night was pretty full on had a few salmon hook ups and bonito follows sighted a couple of decent sambos didn't touch baits tho. Srarted to get a few runs amd things where looking up for the night. Me and my mate had the gut feeling tonight was the night. Finally the handline got a run and the hook was set call was made straight away definitely a fish. I quick ran to my with the gaff and weighted for the colour. PINKIE my mate shouts its a horse. Few tense moments on gaff and before long we floppef it on deck! 105cm 14.5kg landbased pink mate was stoked!!! We then proceeded to try get myself one. Not long passed about 40mins and my torsa started screaming picked it up set the hook and again call was made for a definitely fish short time later we had a healthy mulla on surface and gaff was being deployed. Gaff sunk in amd bang mulla om deck for me!! We where verry happy boys! ! Few quick photos and Zzzzzzzz my mates reel was screaming. Again another hook up and a tense fight around the pylons and before long another healthy mulla on deck all within an hour!! Started to pack up and was home by 8pm both mullas went both 14kg.. hear are a few pics.

Hey all,

Finally after 47 years!!!!

Decided to go out  to my local boat ramp for a last blast before flying back to work loaded with half a dozen leftover mulies. after 45 minutes and down to my last mulie this monster inhaled it.  Fifteen minutes later and some tense moments where she erupted at the surface and tried to hide under the boat ramp this 122cm 16kg mulloway emerged.
