CLOSE TO COAST

Spent a day trying out a new addition to our arsenal of offshore products - the Nin Raba Madai jigs by Bassday. The plan was simple, work the dropoffs close to shore for bottom dwelling species. But of course no trip would be complete without some other forms like casting thrown in...


First blood with the Nin Raba...

An Estuary Cod, and a good one too! 3kgs and tasty!


2nd Estuary Cod of about 1.5kgs got taken by a bigger fish on the way up...


Fingermark Bream like rubber too...


Day-Glo Orange seemed to be the flavour of the day...


A 5 pounder which gave a good account...


Smaller but still good for the table...


We were racking up the numbers with the Nin Raba...


Smaller one but lots of fun...


Another smallie...


Bycatch...


We then went to chase reefies with our Jackall Bros Mame jigs...


These small Tuskfish were abundant in the shallow reefs...


Next up, shallow reef bashing with plastics!


3kg Estuary Cod, exciting stuff on light gear...


Keitech Swing Impact was the weapon of choice...


One more for the road...


Another new toy - CB One Quick Dart F-1 30g...


Hit a school of Longfin Trevallies...


Only one jig worked for these finicky fish...


Small Queenfish on FCL Ebipop...


Bigger Queenie on IMA Gun jig...


Another Trev on the CB One jig to end the day...
