LAST DAY IN EXMOUTH

Spent the last days fishing the inshore reef for a change, had some hot action on the trevally & emperor with plastics, trolled up wahoo & yellowfin, snorkeled with some turtles and sharks, got some sick footage so we will have a vid up soon. were leaving exmouth today turner gave us the heads up that we might score the bluff 10foot plus so were a bit excited and also shitting about that.

FIXED THE CAR, BACK INTO IT

after breaking all the tools we had we finally got the old rusted tow hitch out and put a new one in with a bit of brute force. we were back on the water by 9.30. thought we would try our luck on the bottom feeders see what all the hype was about, we caught a few coral trout, chinaman cod, rankin cod, charlie court & job fish good fun but nothing to big. put the marlin spread out and hit the shelf, there was plenty of bait we both hooked and lost nice yellowfin mitch was down to the last 20m of braid on the spool after a massive fun on at least 12kg of drag. riley boated a nice black marlin est 150kg on a spin reel after a 2 hour fight and got him to the boat just as the sun was setting

BOATS FIXED CARS FUCKED +WE GOT A MARLIN

the boys at karratha fixed the boat in a few hours so we only missed 2 days on the water, fished tuesday arvo and both managed to hook the same black marlin at the same time, greedy little shit we pretty much skimmed him in after some ariels.
we snapped the tow hitch clean off the car winching the boat on, so lucky it happened at the ramp rather than on the highway at 110.

Surfing Exmouth

while the boat has been out of action we searched exmouth for a few waves and found pretty sick little left you could get to without a boat. had a good late arvo and early morning session.

BIT OF A CHANGE OF PLANS

we have just had a few lazy days and it feels like the first ones of the trip, we spent 12hours trapped in the swag in the pouring rain and howling wind. been reading plenty of fishing mags and digging holes to pass the time when its not raining. and now just as the good whether is coming the boat motor decides it needs a service so we have to trek 600kms north to karattha to get it done which means we are going to miss this good whether but we are going to come straight back because this joint is insane! so prob be on the road for 3 days hopefully we can spot some more billies on the way!

first day fishing at exmouth was pretty epic check out the vid for some yellowfin, mahi action.

EXMOUTH MAYHEM!

well exmouth was at the top of the list for places for us to visit and it really hasnt disappointed us at all!! We made the trek down here from broome which was 1400km because we saw there was going to be some good whether and it really payed off. in the past 3 days of fishing we have caught 4 yellowfin, 3 mahi mahi, albicore, and boated 2 marin 1 striped and 1 blue, we also raised and seen 20 marlin over the past 3 days. along with about 100 whales, turtles, seassnakes and everything else the ningaloo reef has to offer. will be putting vids up soon of the last few days!! stoked on our first marlin each!! oh yeah and there are sick waves on the reef too!
