OFFSHORE IN THE CITY!

It was one of the trips we had to do, escape the city and just blast out on the water for day away. And why not? We had at our expense a spanking sportfisher and one of the most esteemed skippers who was hot-to-trot. The day couldn't go wrong....


Sitting pretty at the docks. The humble machine outfitted like the best of them to cater for a day of fun...

No lack of enthusiasm despite the early start...

The best of the Major Craft brand is represented...

We get rolling with a frisky Queenie on the IMA Ichimatsu jig...

And a big Spanish Flag on a Jackall Mametai jig...

Setting the new prototype Major Craft ultralight jig rod alight is a nice Bigeye Trevally...

The IMA Gun Peki jig did well to hold on...

More Bigeyes hit the deck, this one courtesy of the Xesta After Burner jig...

Some specimens are decent sized. Here's another on the Xesta After Burner...

A Bigeye accompanied by a juvenile GT taken on the After Burner and Gun Peki jigs in that order...

Queenies were mixed into that morning's frenzy as well. And do they love Xesta After Burners as well...

Getting through the hungry pack of Bigeyes and Queenies was no easy task but once clear there was a chance at one of these light tackle bruiser GTs... 

The After Burner scores again...

And another Queenie falls to the After Burner again...

A fish you can't help but love for their willingness and fight ability, the humble Queenfish scores many points in a sportfisher's card. On the little ultralight Go-emotion prototype rod by Major Craft this one goes real hard. It took a small Jackall Mametai jig...

A nice little Coral Trout to spice things up. The Xesta After Burner does it again...

Another Queenie to put a nice bend into the Major Craft MS-X ultralight spin rod...

No denying the Xesta After Burner jig as it scores again...

As does the IMA Gun Peki, on another Queenfish...

The lithe Jackall Mametai is a magical tool for this type of work...

A pretty hefty Bigeye Trev to keep arms tired...

The IMA Gun Peki hits once more...

The quality of size increases with this nice Bigeye, but the ultralight Major Craft MS-X Spin rod has the extra grunt...

The Xesta After Burner makes hay while the sun shines...

Casting at the reef pays handsomely in the form of a nice Coral Trout forced out of hiding by the stout FCL Labo EXT 70 spin rod...

The Jackall Soul Shad in green is the answer...

Meanwhile the Gun Peki brings in a Spanish Flag...

But a bigger one yet falls for the Jackall Soul Shad on the heavy spin outfit...

The APIA Seiryu jig appeals to this nice Queenie...

Action is frantic all morning as a Tuskfish is victim of the Gun Peki and the APIA Seiryu picks up a Spanish Flag...

More Spanish Flag off the bottom on another IMA Gun Peki...

For variety's sake, a Soapfish comes aboard after nailing a Jackall Mametai...

Casting from shore with the Major Craft Skyroad spin rod, a Spanish Flag is nailed with the Zipbaits Trick Shad lure...

Shortly after, another one falls for a Jackall Chubby crankbait...

Back aboard, its Bigeye Trev action once more with this small one on the Jackall Mametai...

The Queenies are still at it too...

Its the After Burner once again...

Amazing what these mini jigs catch. A minute Octopus thinks this is an easy meal...

Going deeper with the IMA Ichimatsu jig finds another Queenie...

A cute Anchor Tuskfish on the Xesta After Burner to seal the session. And a pretty good one too...

MEANWHILE AT THE POND!

Friends of Tackle Source getting it done at the local Saltwater pond...

Fun with the light baitcast Major Craft MS-X with an Estuary Cod...

The new APIA Punch Line sinking lipless lure gets noticed...

The Red Drums are finicky but are not impossible. One the light MS-X baitcast outfit they go hard...

Fooled by the life-like Jackall Clone Gill soft bait...

As does this Estuary Cod...




Another nice Cod on the light MS-X rod...

The victim of the sinking lipless Zipbaits Dimly lure...

Another sizable Red Drum falls for some deep tactics...


Its the Jackall Clone Gill once again...

GREEN & GOLD!

The jungle beckons again as Tackle Source buddies get wet and wild for some beautiful green and gold specimens. The fishing was tough, as were conditions, but we made the best of it and landed some good ones...

After a fruitless start we get lucky with this first fish of the day. The Major Craft Basspara is all the tool you need for some rough jungle action...


Going heavy with the super-effective APIA Bagration pays dividends...

Going light with the light spin Major Craft MS-X and the deadly silent vibe - the IMA Koume scores this one...

The IMA Koume is the highest ranked lure for this type of work...

Putting the Bait Finesse MS-X baitcast rod to good use. This Peacock is prey to a weightless rigged Jackall Knuckle soft plastic...

Going large again and another fish is tempted on this tough day...

APIA Bagration via the Major Craft Basspara spin rod does the trick...

BFS Style courtesy of the ultralight MS-X rod by Major Craft scores this little Giant Snakehead...

Going light with the Jackall Dagger Minnow fooled this one...

Pardon the bad pic of a nice fish which went ballistic on a topwater IMA Pugachev's Cobra 60 on the little MS-X spin rod...

Another BFS MS-X victim...

The DUO Spinbait takes a hostage...

The action hots up as the day wears on. Here's a nice one on the ultralight Evergreen Temujin 'Spider' rod...

The Bassday Bottom Twitcher is an amazing performer in many instances and it produces here as well...

Its a double with the DUO Spinbait and the Bassday Bottom Twitcher...

Then its a triple header with nice fish getting landed...

The DUO Spinbait and MS-X BFS combo scores another...

While the DUO Teriff Bullet and MS-X Spin rod pairing does this one in...

And the IMA Survivor worked with the Major Craft Go-Emotion baitcast rod accounts for the third...

The action gets thick for a short few moments as another fish is subdued...

The Bassday Bottom Twitcher hits again...

And its the DUO Teriff and IMA Survivor which scores more...

As the DUO Spinbait isn't far behind with another fine fish...

This DUO Realis creation is something special...

And its no surprise that it scores yet again...

As the bite slows a change of lures would pick up the odd fish...

Here its the old favourite downsize lure - the IMA Sukari, which does the trick...

More DUO Realis Spinbait action with another good fish on the Major Craft MS-X BFS rod...

Meanwhile the wildly twitched DUO Spearhead Ryuki gets the attention of this passing fish...

And the Bassday Bottom Twitcher keeps racking up the scores...

Again its downsizing which scores as the fish go quiet...

The DUO Toto Shad has a great straightline stability at speed...

Twitch and pause with the Bassday Bottom Twitcher does it once again...

No guesses as to this guy's fave lure...

We picked off the odd passing fish as the session wore on and the bite slowed...

The DUO Spearhead Ryuki finds another...

A good surprise in the form of a Giant Snakehead to end the day after a good fight on the Major Craft Go-Emotion bait cast rod...


Its the big Jackall Bonnie 128 which remains one of the favourite Giant Snakehead produces of all time...
