The last week in October seen the last charter that was a shame because the fish were jumping in the boat. We were heading down the coast to do some reef fishing when I seen this sailfish fining on the surface as we pulled up the fish came over to investigate. I had the still frozen mulet out of the esky and was feeding them over the back while getting a trace ready. As I looked over the side I could see the fish ten feet down eating the mulet

one at a time. We baited the hook and dropped it over, the fish swam up and eat the still half frozen mulet the hook was set and the game was on. After about 15 minute of great boat driving the sail was ours for some quick photos before release. The tuna were so thick you could have walked on there backs this 24 pounder was the size of quite a lot of them. We also got up the river for one and a half days with 50 barra caught and released and many other species these guys had a great time and will be back. It was a shame to finish at the end of October with the fish jumping in the boat.

Gordon @ Charles were the two novice fishers that came up with a group of seven guys lead by Dean Butler I took them to the bait schools off Norman creek on the second day of there trip the morning sea conditions were perfect. As we came closer to were the bait had been you could see the water was bulging with the bait being pushed to the surface by all types off predators. By 1pm we left to avoid the westerly the guys arms felt like they were twice as long as in the morning and the esky was full of mackerals bodies.

Four mates in the middle off October two of them second time fishing.They must think fishing is easy with catches of thirty barra one day fifty the next forty the day after.In between barra all the other river fish were on the bite as

well with king salmon, jack, queenies cods and more ready to eat anything that came its way. Down the coast the reef fished well for fingermark trevaly and nannygai while the pelagics were moving in on the bait schools that had been moving around for days.
