Hello fellow fishers once again,
Although the weather did not do as we all would have hoped for, the window of opportunity to poke out did arrive.
While dodging rain clouds young Deion and his mate Daniel snuck down to Palleranda with the fly rods and some light spin gear, soon finding themselves playing with some lively saltwater tarpon around the 4kg mark and some jumpy little GT’s with the Felty’s Flatz Fodder being the fly of choice.
Unfortunately there were no quality fish to be brought home but big smiles were in order due to the sport put up from from both these magnificent species.
Not knowing how long this weather was going to hang around, Graham and his mate Cameron were jumping at the opportunity to go chase fingermark due to recent trip plans being “blown away”. Armed with a Calcutta 400 and some 50lb braid they were talking business when they rigged on the first live bait being a big mullet measuring in at a whopping 21cm, this was a bait destined for trouble!!! In a period of a few hours, West Point had pleasured and tortured the guys,’ with Cameron’s Fingermark coming in at 75cm and many others that just didn’t want to come to the boat.
Jason fished slightly wider this week working Maggie Shoals with good friend Nick. Together they lost a lot of gear to some hard pulling fish and to some toothy critters, in the end they managed to bring home a good sized spotted mackerel and a very healthy sized large mouth Nannygai. Unfortunately the weather started to pick back up convincing them both to head for home early.
Well we sure hope you guys had as much fun as we did?
