There's always something special about catching sportfish from shore on lures. Maybe its getting your feet wet and having sand in between your toes, or negotiating a slippery algae-infested outcrop that ups the challenge of getting that elusive fish. One lazy evening spent targetting the prized Barramundi turned out to be something of a revelation...

Next up was a frisky Yellowtail Barracuda on the Sasuke, all menacing!
