Tackle Source takes to the dunes in an expedition a little further afield. The aim was for new species and some trophies on topwater gear, and new personal bests hopefully. Like always fishing is a game of chance and it wasn't the easiest trip for any of us. But here's the journey never the less...
 |
| With great ambitions we trek North-west in search of our quarry... |
 |
| With gears to put any shop to shame we planned well... |
 |
| Alas after a lay-over we finally have the gears in the back of a 4WD to embark on the final leg on wheels... |
 |
| The road is long and dusty but it held gems if you kept your eyes open... |
 |
| You don't chance upon much life-form in the stark desert but here the Camels call home... |
 |
| The shoreline cliffs made for magnificent sights... |
 |
| The coastline was endless... |
 |
| We find an unusual oasis in a valley... |
 |
| And from asphalt we then find ourselves on the deep blue with Porpoises for company as we motor to our first spot... |
 |
| First things first, Bluefish were a first for all of us so we spent a morning getting excited over these amazing fish. First one in the boat got fooled by an IMA Honey Trap lipless pencil... |
 |
| Distance was key and the DUO Press Bait Fusion was the perfect lure for the job... |
 |
| Meanwhile the IMA Honey Trap gets another customer... |
 |
| The trick was to get your lure into the wash zone, hook ups were sporadic with many misses and thrown hooks but it was maximum fun none the less... |
 |
| The DUO Press Bait Fusion was collecting battle scars... |
 |
| Some models were pretty decent sized and put up a tough acrobatic fight. Note Major Craft Crostage casting rod loaded up in the background... |
 |
| The IMA Honey Trap does more damage... |
 |
| As does the DUO Press Bait Fusion... |
 |
| Regardless of size these Bluefish go hard... |
 |
| The IMA Barbarossa 120 gets on the scorecard... |
 |
| The fish hang around but get smart, so it was just switching lures until we get another fooled... |
 |
| A switch to the Jackson Pintail Tune did the trick... |
 |
| While the good ol' IMA Barbarossa picks up this little Triggerfish... |
 |
| With another hook up on the Major Craft Crostage in the back this fish takes centre stage... |
 |
| This time its the Jackson Muscle Shot which does this fish in... |
 |
| Another IMA Barbarossa victim hits the deck... |
 |
| After countless misses we finally nail one on a topwater pencil... |
 |
| The FEED Lures SPEAR pencil scores... |
 |
| In amongst the Bluefish are some bruiser Spangled Emperor too, and boy do they go hard even on decent gear like the Major Craft Giant Killing offshore casting rods... |
 |
| The DUO Press Bait Fusion doing what it does best... |
 |
| Another hot DUO product, the Rough Trail Blazin' scores another Bluefish... |
 |
| While the DUO Press Bait Fusion continues to pull fish... |
 |
| With two in a row... |
 |
| A switch to the DUO Press Bait Fusion Wide also pays off... |
 |
| Here's a very decent specimen which went hard and fast... |
 |
| The Jackson Pintail is a heavy weight long casting offshore performer which certainly did the trick... |
 |
| We get a kick pulling Spangled Emperors out of wretched underwater structure... |
 |
| The DUO Press Bait Fusion Wide scores a win... |
 |
| And backs it up with another toothy Bluefish... |
 |
| Going with bigger lures usually mean attracting more decent specimens... |
 |
| The DUO Rough Trail 130S fulfils the brief... |
 |
| While its smaller brother the DUO Rough Trail Blazin' makes do with a Snapper... |
 |
| Back on shore we get pampered with some tasty crustaceans... |
 |
| Its Cray season and so its a party! |
