How convenient - drive thru fishing. That xrap proved to be pretty popular over the next few days. | |
That's sport! The other blokes missed out on all the fun in their rush to get to camp. You'll notice that swimming is not advisable in this water hole. | |
Day 1 and the red and white Knucklehead entices a nice queenie on the second cast. (Or perhaps it was those fashionable red shorts?) | |
On a very rare day with no wind, Dr. Paul throws out a blue clouser and comes up big with a northern bluefin tuna on the fly. Nice! | |
That's a big queenie for a little bloke! | |
Dr. Paul manages a nice Golden Trevally on the fly. | |
Jacko with a very decent GT on the fly. | |
GT caught a GT. | |
Paulie gets into the act with a nice GT as well. | |
Dr. Paul snags the best mackeral of the trip while trolling down mackeral alley. | |
A smallish "saltie". Did you know that saltwater crocodiles are the largest reptile in the world? Not this particular one though - it was only around 5 ft. long. | |
Fingermark bream don't get much bigger than this one Jacko got in the estuary. It went 4.5 Kg. | |
Whaddayoucallthatdarl? Jacko with a stonking queenie on the fly. | |
Not a bad Golden. | |
Here's Ben getting in on the Mackeral action. | |
Ben shows off a nice Trevally caught on the fly just a little ways from camp. | |
Pauly got a beaut northern on the fly | |
Finally, I got in to the bluefin on the (very windy) last day. | |
In a somewhat unusual turn of events, Dr. Paul is hypnotized by those big 'ol bluefin eyes. | |
Time to clean up and pull down the camp... | |
... well, except for Timmy Pike that is, who seems to have found a beer to keep him occupied instead. | |
The sun sets. |
