Things hotting up in Sept/Oct

The fishing has been getting better and better when the weather leaves us alone!
From the estuary to the blue water the fishing has been pretty damn good as these pics will attest.


James Norris fished with us in Oct with his dad and had caught a few threadies and mangrove jacks when along came this monster, a barra of 114cm.
The barra was handled very gently quickly measured and photographed and released with the utmost care as these big fish can sometimes not breed due to undue stress. Most breeding barra will spawn on the moon in Nov/Dec.
Even on the blue water we have been seeing plenty of sails and little black marlin and even getting quite a few bites on our teaser poppers. So far however none of the fly fishermen have had a big fly ready to throw at them.
Heres a couple of pics of a 20kg sail captured and released by Jun Nagamori and his mate Steve. Steve actually fought the fish on a skipping bait rigged by Notso.
A lot of fun and excitement was had by all!

Last few months



I know that I am always saying I will keep up with the blog and don't!
I should!
We have been busy however and even the boys have been a little slack also but getting the job done is important also.
Anyhow here is a couple of pics to squiz at in the meantime and we will see if we can get some stuff happening and catch up as soon as we all get some time to regroup.

Check out this Arakun sunset!


The milkies are still coming as Gary Boehmer found out when this one followed the fly almost to the rod tip before eating it with gusto and keeping him busy for almost 45 minutes.


The milky was 16lb and was Gary's first.





Peter( Windy) Wilson with a nice little aussie tarpon, pity the don't grow big like their cousins?


Even the boss gets the odd fish
Kristy Philliskirk's shot of an all too familiar sight these days a good queenfish being chased by the ever present bull shark.
Keep watching we will get some more good pics posted real soon promise!
