First cast on a 105 sinking stickbait in fusilier colour. So much fun chasing these fish around the bay

Went out fishing with Nathan from guided down under in Rockhampton. It was a suprise for my 30th birthday. All i wanted was a big thready and to be able to achieve it i was stoked. My wife got the first one coming in at 101cm and i followed soon after with a 122cm then backed up by a healthy salty barra at 77cm the first fish i got caught and got bricked by a 51cm jack. I also hooked the biggest barra i have ever seen in my life that bent the treble in its 2nd jump. I literally thought i hooked a turtle for most the fight until the jump. I said some crazy stuff when i saw the size of this thing.

I like the find the fish before the birds. See which way there are swimming then drive upwind current and have the sun in a way so it doesnt blind the fish. Then cut the outboard and wait for a bit then place a cast at the leading fish and retrieve as fast as you can aslong as the lure stays in the water. If you place a perfect cast you should get a eat as soon as it hits the water

I wish but getting on a tight schedule now to keep heading north. Can see myself going back for a week in the future though

Awesome day on the water there mate, looks like you picked a great charter crew to go with. I'm sure he'll be getting some more business based on your experience. That lost barra sounds like a monster - you'll have to go back for round 2 .... 🙂.

Seems like you stuck gold great job on the threadie

Great days fishing. Congratulations on the PB's.
Do you think you'll be staying a few extra days now ? haha

That's an awesome day on the briney happy birthday, a birthday milestone and some fishing ones to.

Hi Meeuwissen
Wow! Great job! Some epic captures there! 
I’m glad you had a good day out Fishing! 
Cheers Hamish

A couple of real stockers there @Meeuwissen. You can’t say that charter wasn’t value for money! Looks like you are having a great trip north. Oh, and happy 30th birthday! Living the dream.
