We continue our journey Downunder with this short trip where the sun never ceases to shine and life is beautiful for the people who live and visit. For us it was a matter of finding the likeliest holes which held fish and to get some bites...
 |
| With the boat in the water in no time, off we went a hunting... |
 |
| The man-made canals were strewn with million dollar houses and we had a perfect glimpse into the life of the rich and famous via the backyard... |
 |
| It was a network of estuarine waterways which led to the seaway... |
 |
| The emphasis on ultra light gear cannot be of more importance in this highly pressured system... |
 |
| Working under the jetties the first customer we found was this John's Snapper which took a Jackall Mametai mini jig... |
 |
| These estuarine mazes were patrolled by a myriad of juvenile Trevally species and they were great fun on any gear. This small Yellowfin fell for a twitched Bassday Sugapen Lipless pencil worked on the Major Craft Crostage... |
 |
| We find another of its mates with the small Jackall Mametai jig... |
 |
| On the ultralight outfits these little things can provide a few anxious moments... |
 |
| The Major Craft Crostage Aji series rods are the perfect tool for casting and working finesse lures. And did we mention the thrill of the fight? |
 |
| The Bassday Sugapen Lipless scores another feisty Yellowfin Trev... |
 |
| All day we were peering into some of the most beautiful homes anywhere... |
 |
| On a shallow sandy flat we had the greatest gift when a large Flathead took a lure meant for smaller fish. As it slid into view we couldn't contain our excitement... |
 |
| It was good Dusky Flathead any where. And on the ultra light Major Craft Crostage it was all the more special... |
 |
| The big fish took a DUO Ikakko hopped patiently along the bottom. Again this spectacular lure produces a fantastic capture... |
 |
| The DUO Ikakko again with a feisty John' Snapper... |
 |
| As the sun set along a main waterway the bigger pelagics were out to play and poppers were the best way to draw any attention... |
 |
| This nice Yellowfin took the lithe Jackson Pygmy Popper and gave a thorough work out on the Major Craft Crostage... |
 |
| Next up was an even more epic fight, courtesy of a nice juvenile GT which smashed the topwater offering and going berserk... |
 |
| A nice result on the loud and brash DUO Realis Popper. What a capture... |
 |
| Being amidst civilisation meant we took in the most beautiful of sunsets and enjoyed a divine dinner after... |
