Last spot for July abrolhos trip
Well, my last Abrolhos trip for the year is coming up next weekend and theres still one lucky last spot available. Will make it three times this year (plus a turtle dove trip) so that should tell you just how awesome the trip and the fishing is.
We'll be fishing from the 2-5th of July, so thats 4 days fishing (we usually start at dawn and get back a mooring point an hour or so before sunset, but sometimes fish later). Max 8 people on boat, all meals, drinks, bait, accom, etc included. Nothing to bring except clothes/sleeping bag/pillow any any alcohol. Will need to double check with cost, as adding an extra person should reduce it for all (so should be $1350 but will confirm).
For those that dont know much about it, or havent read my previous reports, the Abrolhos islands must be one of the fishiest areas in WA (at least in terms of actually catching the fish :p). We usually fish shallower ground between 10-30m so we're usually breaking out the jigs, and softplastics. Pretty awesome to see the bottom while fishing some lightly weighted plastics before it gets smashed (including a 10kg dhuie in 10m of water last year) Not to mention the baitschools being smashed by all kinds of fish and furiously casting lures into the chaos, as well as trolling up a few mackies.
It must be saying something about the area when the most common fish caught are dhuies, pinkies, spanglies, coral trout and baldies Not to mention, that theres practically no wrasse or other crap fish :p.
So, if you want to get on what will be an awesome trip, get in quick before the spot disappears.

People keep asking me, but
People keep asking me, but i'm never sure of the names. Have fished all, but usually its the two southern groups (Pelsaert and Easter checking a map), but will usually hit the middle/northern group (Wallabi). Think we've fished south of North Island once, but usually dont head that far (may as well focus on a tighter area so more fishing time)
