Some of my best captures

[tap]

Like the skippers told me in Cairns, that weather is "fresh to frightening". Good thing you were at least on land. California guys would never try to fish that stuff (wouldn't catch anything in that slop anyways).

Yep very true, it was pretty safe on the land as long as you never turn ya back to the ocean

Gee i miss Cairns!
Lovley place that but so far away from where i am in australia

Went down to a spot down the river where we catch a native to australia fish called black bream this morning.

Using whole mulies (pilchard) with gang hooks we got into some nice bream.
We got a total of 2 black bream and 2 silver bream.
We fished from 7am till 9am till it pissed down raining
(damm im sick of winter)
All fish were legal size and FAT AS!!!
All fish were released

Hmm, us California guys fish in huge swells and rough seas all the time, maybe you confused us with the florida guys Damn nasty weather though, you are right about one thing, I definitely wouldnt be fishing from shore in that kind of weather. But offshore, if the fish are biting, I would fish for sure

Had to go down again this arvo and caught this thumper on yet again a mulie with gangs!!!!!!!!!!
Hooked a few this big!! Lost a few aswell
Pictures dont do it justice. It was massive. My guess is 2kg.
Caught it on my GB ugly stick and brand new made in usa penn 450ss with 5 pound line :shock:
I didnt have the heart to kill it. I released it


And for the Honsu pose :wink:

Went there again today and landed another thumper!!
released this one aswell, feels good to know they are still there getting bigger and breading more bream
Loads more blowies there this time and i think the bream found it hard to get through the blowies to get the bait..
Here is the bream i got today

I finally have got around to doing a "making gang hooks" post

Will be great if some of you try make some and tell me how you go using "gang hooks"

Step 1: Start off by getting the special tool to make the gangs. Its $30 aust dollars. You can use sidecutters to open the eye of the hook if you dont have this tool in the states.



Step2: Place eye of hook in the "eye opener" and adjust the screw at the back of the tool down to stop you squeezing down to far so you dont open the eye to much and snap eye of the hooks. Squeeze down till the eye opens a little.



Step3 :Now that you have opend the eye of the hook up, thread a hook through the eye of the hook you have already opened





Step 4: Time now to close the eye. This is very basic. Insert the eye into one of the grooves in the end of the tool and squeeze shut and again, if you dont have access to this tool, you can use plyers.



The end result.......

Ready for my fishing trip

ALLLLLLLLL HAIL THE MIGHTY CLIFFS GREAT CATCH SEND MORE PLEASE

Hi Gill, i havnt been back to the cliffs for a while now but i did just get back from a lovley place called Kalbarri.

Usually is really good fshing but while we were there it was dangerous to fish the cliffs.

Here are a couple of pics...
It was a funny trip away with the first laughs starting when we were driving up there. We had been driving for 7 hours and i seen a sign saying " shire of shark bay " :lol: We missed the Kalbarri turnoff by 120klm!!!!!!!!!!
Lucky we had just enough fuel to get back to Kalbarri!
As soon as we got unpacked we went strait to the cliffs. DAMM! It was rough as! Massive swells! Couldnt fish goats gulch all week! :twisted:
Tryed to fish red bluff but had a few close calls so we gave that a miss.
Fished fishermans jetty in the river all week. Landed a total of i recon about 50 undersized mulloway! At least the river is very healthy
Only beach spot fishable was blue holes. Caught 3 good sized skippy. Lots of bust offs . I was using occy on the bottom.
Had a few injuries , fell down a hole in the reef at blue holes and cut knee up :lol:
I was lazy and threw knife into my fishing bag then went into my bag to get tackle out and sliced finger open on the knife :twisted:
Oh well it was a good holiday away from work :wink:
Here are some pics....
