Is that the ripple GT79 Reversal bent over?

Scott Maybury:
Hey Ewan,

The first 2 action shots (pics 3 and 4) are the Ripple Fisher 78 Power Fight, this is John's rod.

The other action shot, with the red rod, is also a Ripple Fisher. It was one of Nomads. They had 2 red rods and I think this is either a Power Fight or a Heavy.

Here is my 79 Reversal in action, albeit with more angle so not as impressive a bend!  :) Some of these rods were bent like parabolic jig rods, I was very impressed

Graham Scott:
Hi Scott,
Great report, lucky.....  The boys this week have jagged some decent weather.
I recognise a fair bit of the background, did you stay around Island Head creek and the coast a bit north?  Your second fourth fifth photos are about the best spot I have ever fished for anything (assuming I've picked the background). At the tightest part of the passage entrance there is a big gutter that drops from about 3m to 23m and then back to 3m in about 30m distance. We used to have the boat at about 2000rpm and drop big weighted baits to the bottom of the gutter. All sorts of crazy fish in there. Unfortunately my next best rockbar up there is now green, never mind still plenty to do. Looks like the other end of the same passage in some of the other photos?

I can't wait to get back up there!!

cheers,
graham

Scott Maybury:
Hey Graham, yeah the weather was just improving as we left, the second last day was fantastic weather and fishing wise...we started off at the Duke Islands but headed south on Day 3 to a better anchorage for the bad weather that was to come,  which was in Island Head Creek

Yeah that spot you are talking about where some of those pictures was accounted for a good deal of our success, even though most of the time it didn't particularly look much (in terms of current, bait etc)

Peter Morris:
Some top shots there.

Looks like a sensational place to fish.

Well done.

Pete
