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...
