Winter in Weipa

Well winter has come and gone and we have had some filthy weather over the last few months.

The fishing however has been pretty good and ther have been plenty of the larger pelagics on the bite.

The mackerel have been thick although ther are always casualties with the sharks also being thick.

Some day's you can manage to evade them and land a good percentage of your hookups.

Check out Maurie Mariani's fine Mack caught on a Shimano bullwhip baitcaster and Shimano 2 speed beastmaster, not a bad effort. The fish measured 134cm and managed to outrun the 9ft bullshark that was hot on it's tail.

Pete Leemon and his big queenie caught on fly on his first saltwater fly fishing experience.
