Quick Gnaraloo report

 Quick report fellas

Day 1: The new deckie managed to raise a sail for his first fish than a 12kg Cobia pretty good for beginner's luck lol.

Day 2: A good bag of Reds and Rankins my best for the day around 8kegs and nice Coronation trout.

Day 3 : A little slower as the weather is too bloody nice lol but still managed good Reds and Rankins and the first Robbo, can't believe how pearly white the flesh is that will go well in the pan I reckon. We've been muscled by a few sharks, a bloody pain in the arse they've wrecked my shoulders but I now know my knot tying is good ;) 

Have met another FW member up here with his mate, bloody nice blokes. They are fishing land based and have nailing some big GT's and Tailor form the shore and are rapt with the place. 

Anyway off we go for another day, hard life eh :P

Ive caught heaps of Robinsons

Sun, 2015-08-16 21:38

Ive caught heaps of Robinsons sea bream when targeting Reds. At the time we thought we should just keep one (we hadn't caught em before). Turns out they're beautiful eating and a great little sport fish on light gear mind you!

 Well day 6 of hard fishing

Tue, 2015-08-18 17:22

 Well day 6 of hard fishing and we have pretty well bagged out. Went to Rankinville today lol and killed the pig on them, very happy as I love them. Got smacked by a big bugger when I was hauling a small baitfish halfway up on my PE 2-4 Demon blood. Called it for a shark and called for the net when I realised what it was lol. First ever Pearl perch today and man they look like Dhu bangers when they come out the water. Looking forward to posting a pic or two when I get home.
