Nick:- Well another amazing day out here and we had non stop action the whole day. From first up in the morning we had wahoo smashing our stickbaits cast after cast. It was awesome to be within shouting distance of our other boats and watch the carnage happening all around you. Wahoo catapulting out sometimes 10 meters up almost landing in boats! If we had put four lines out rigged properly you could have easily caught 100 wahoo today if you wanted to. With only one single hook on our lures catching every third or fourth air born attack was good enough to actually take in what was going on around us. We couldn't travel more than 100 meters without the minnow screaming off then stop the boat at send out the stickbaits and standby.....wahoo missiles launching themselves at you and screaming off with the 18000 Stellas almost over heating. We had been watching the approaching front on the horizon for a few hours and decided around 3:30 to call it a day. I still find it hard to believe how many wahoo are actually around this reef it is really amazing.
Glanville- WAHOOOOOOO MANIA!!!!! That sums up today. The fishing today was pretty awesome we had fish sky rocketing out of a mirror calm ocean attacking stickbaits all day, we had a 30kg wahoo jump completely over our boat and land on the other side nearly taking out the camera man in the process, we even had a Marlin up in the mix of things that got fairly interested in one of the magic swimmers but it never took the lure... its not often in any sort of fishing that when a massive fish falls off you think oh well that's alright, cause here you know the very next cast will produce another screaming specimen, once again today we managed to get another decent size Yellowfin of around 30kg on a cast stick shad, it is really hard to try and describe days like today and it is often easier to make an average day sound good than to try and make a fantastic day sound amazing there just simply aren't any words, one thing I can say for sure that seeing the incredible speed of a 30kg wahoo launching 5m out the water attached to your stickbait only meters from the boat then screaming off so fast that the sound of the reel as you can watch it emptying gets a little distorted will never get old in my mind...
Alex- we played around chasing some wahoo on fly we hooked a couple but they got sharked. After that we played in the shallows chasing some of the critters that live there. Our first fish in the shallows was a bluefin trevally but it was jet black apart from the usual iridescent blue spots, it was an amazing looking fish. After that we saw the usual coral sea shallow water terrors of green jobfish and a few other creatures that just came for a look. We had another strange creature encounter when we caught a flutefish, weird weird creature when I grabbed it to try take the lure out it did a croc like deathroll. Then it was some light tackle jigging and it was a fish a drop on rainbow runner. It was a good day and the weather was so nice this morning that catching a fish was a bonus when we were drifting around the shallows
