Our awesome Camp

Foot prints in the sand

The Nomad Bobora worked really well when the tide slowed down in the afternoon




another on the Bob









Well after day one we needed a pretty good feed to charge us up for the next day.  We jumped in tot spear a couple of fish for the evening meal.  We got a few trout and some jacks to see us through the next couple of days.  This is an example of a typical meal while we are away.  Fresh coral trout and home made chips, washed down with a corona.  In bed by 7pm.

Awesome stuff Brad, I always enjoy your DIY trip reports. Congrats on such spectacular results in what is obviously a brilliant location, and some stunning pics too, so thanks for sharing.

Those ASWB stickbaits, obviously quite successful for you guys, where do we find more info about these lures?

Thanks again!
Angus

Yeah the ASWB's work really well in choppy conditions, have a real sweep side to side swim pattern.  I got mine off a mate i think that not to far away they may be in either Fishhead or Saltywater, ill find out a contact for you they are only new.
