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!
