A few more pics

Just a few more pics of the happy couple fishing together.

Notso finally caught his triple tail after hooking a bigger one the day before and losing it at the boat, his first ever!

Kristy caught this 88cm barra on a lure which is her PB on a lure also.

The release what a great feeling watching them swim away!

Playing before the work starts.

Myself,Notso and Kristy decided to go out chuck a few lures about and have a few cold beers yesterday afternoon. The pics below are what eventuated to make it an enjoyable and interesting few hours.

The little lizard ( about 1.6m) was infatuated with the vixen surface lure and almost climbed into the boat while chasing it. Kristy had her feet on the gunwhale but retracted them incredibly fast even though she was looking through the viewfinder taking the pics, I won't print the expletives that came from my darling daughters mouth at the time. we did manage to catch a few nice ones though.

A New Season Begins

Well the rains are still with us and we had a phenominal wet February.

So far this year since Jan 1st we have had 1590mm with our wettest day 140mm, so it looks like being a beauty if it keeps going.

There have been quite a few barras around lately, so Duane and I went out for a fish the other day for 4 hrs. In that short but enjoyable sassion we caught 2 queenfish, 4goldies, 2 mangrove jacks, 18 barras, a couple of barracuda and an estuary cod.

Not too bad for a couple of hours?.

Although I went down the coast last week and didn't get much top the boat to speak of.

Hooking a few good fingermarks but the sharks and a big groper giving us a hiding and stealing just about everything.

Here is a pic of Jason Owens (Owy) our new guide with a 90cm barra caught and released yesterday in the Mission river.

For those of you who don't know, Jason is an experienced fly fisherman and will be a welcome addition to the team this year. He also has a few clues on those frustrating Milkies and can obviously use a baitcaster also.
