The pristine sheltered waters of Hervey Bay in Australia is the site for our next light tackle adventure. The crew spent a day on the water getting into the local pelagics and demersals alike. Here was how it went...
 |
| Early dawn start a long trek out. Gear on board and ready to rock and roll... |
 |
| Didn't take long to find a school of Golden Trevally but unfortunately only one was foolish enough to bite... |
 |
| The FEED Lures FLIP40 jig scores this one! |
 |
| We got plenty more hook-ups with the FEED FLIP40 but they turned out to be Sharks... |
 |
| We encountered many surfaces bust-ups and on one such cast this Spanish Mackeral latched onto the FEED Lures SPEAR30 pencil... |
 |
| Meanwhile small jigs like this FEED FLIP25 dropped below the bait schools would find predators too... |
 |
| The light jig outfits had their work cut out for them on this day. Here a Major Craft Giant Killing spin rod bears the grunt... |
 |
| Turns out to be another Shark on the FEED FLIP40... |
 |
| The Sharks are certainly on the chew. Another FLIP jig gets nailed... |
 |
| We just couldn't avoid them. They loved the FEED jigs too much... |
 |
| Dropping the weight class to a tiny FEED FLIP15 jig, we find a Fusilier... |
 |
| And while casting to frenzied bait schools we find the usual suspect in the form of a Mack Tuna which took a liking to the FEED FLIP jig... |
 |
| With the ultralight Major Craft Go-Emotion Micro Jig Special out for some fun we hook a freight-train in the shape of a beaut Chinaman Fish. This fight was one to be savoured... |
 |
| The colours on this fish were amazing. Like those before, the FEED FLIP15 did the trick... |
 |
| More drops over the shallow reef revealed another prized catch, the Red Snapper... |
 |
| The like FEED FLIP jigs too... |
 |
| Every drift over the patch produced a hit on the FEED FLIP... |
 |
| One cannot tire from catching these beautiful fish. Back home they are a rare treat... |
 |
| It culminated in this nicely proportioned specimen that went hard on the Go-Emotion Micro Jig Special rod... |
 |
| The FEED Lures FLIP15 is a star indeed... |
 |
| This next fish is a funny one indeed. Identified as a Long Spined Snapper, this is our first encounter. The FEED FLIP scores again... |
 |
| Then we get back into the Red Snappers on the FEED FLIPs... |
 |
| Even smaller specimens can't resist the bigger FLIP25 model... |
 |
| To cap the day off we boat a beautifully marked Bonito on the FEED FLIP. Awesome colours on this fish... |
 |
| By the late afternoon we are back on dry land, wishing to do it all over again... |
