| 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... |

| 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 nice little Coral Trout to spice things up. The Xesta After Burner does it again... |

![]() |
| 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... |
![]() |

| Another sizable Red Drum falls for some deep tactics... |
| Its the Jackall Clone Gill once again... |

![]() |
| Another BFS MS-X victim... |
![]() |
| The DUO Spinbait takes a hostage... |
![]() |
| The action hots up as the day wears on. Here's a nice one on the ultralight Evergreen Temujin 'Spider' rod... |
![]() |
| The Bassday Bottom Twitcher is an amazing performer in many instances and it produces here as well... |
![]() |
| Its a double with the DUO Spinbait and the Bassday Bottom Twitcher... |

| More DUO Realis Spinbait action with another good fish on the Major Craft MS-X BFS rod... |
![]() |
| Meanwhile the wildly twitched DUO Spearhead Ryuki gets the attention of this passing fish... |
![]() |
| And the Bassday Bottom Twitcher keeps racking up the scores... |
![]() |
| Again its downsizing which scores as the fish go quiet... |
![]() |
| The DUO Toto Shad has a great straightline stability at speed... |
![]() |
| Twitch and pause with the Bassday Bottom Twitcher does it once again... |
![]() |
| No guesses as to this guy's fave lure... |
![]() |
| We picked off the odd passing fish as the session wore on and the bite slowed... |
![]() |
| The DUO Spearhead Ryuki finds another... |
![]() |
| A good surprise in the form of a Giant Snakehead to end the day after a good fight on the Major Craft Go-Emotion bait cast rod... |
![]() |
| Its the big Jackall Bonnie 128 which remains one of the favourite Giant Snakehead produces of all time... |
