Nice conditions has been the rule rather than the exception this
season so far!!! The last few days has seen 20 knots of SE trade
wind and the rest of the time has been 10 to 15 knots, a huge
difference form the last couple of years. The good news is that the
BIG fish are making an appearance and if you are in the right spot
on the right day you can have an incredible day, otherwise you hear
about it that night on the grapevine!!!
We finished up with Peter and Lydie on Sat night, and in the 8 days
we had 14 bites, had a bunch on and tagged 3 on 50 lb tackle.
Exciting fishing, and learnt a lot about using 50 lb, the main thing
being how hard it is to set the hook compared with 130!!! But my
guests had another awesome trip to the GBR, we had some great light
tackle fishing, the spearing continued to be excellent and the food
we ate was incredible- sweet chili mud crabs, lots of fresh coral
trout and tuna sashimi, and some awesome steaks.
Started Sunday morning long term client Ken on the Bali Hai for the
next 10 days, and ran back out to #2/3 Ribbon opening for a late
start, where we had a few bites the day before. But all we managed
to do was watch a couple get caught at the end of the bite period
for the day. Meanwhile up on #10 Ribbon, Peter B Wright tagged the
first GRANDER of the season and saw up to 10 fish tailing, and the
previous day tagged 3 fish, including 2 big ones. So off we went,
bait fishing up No:5 Ribbon for a few fresh scaleys, and the biggest
coral trout i have ever caught on the troll, had to be 25-30 lbs at
least. As well as a good eating size that made its way to the
appetiser plate on the Bali Hai.
Fished #10 all day and marked at least a dozen fish, from the
shallows out to the deep, and jumped off a small fish on the scad.
With lots of fish showing up, perfect tides and good weather
conditions, I am excited about the upcoming weeks of fishing.
