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... |
