Another Marion 2008 Trip Report

<< < (2/3) > >>

Greg Burt:
You don't need bait Santosh, they also like lures >:(

Simon Thomas:
I forgot to post the picture of the big trout, so here it is.

Also I thought I would post photos of the only injury from the week, which looks bad, although Arthur hardly complained at all and was fishing the next day.  It was not brought about as you would imagine ie a big fish, but was from when the guys snapped a lure off that had gotten snagged on the reef.  They went in and the deckie grabbed it and placed it in the boat, then they started motoring out whilst the owner grabbed it to re rig.  Unknown to all there was some braid hanging out the back of the boat which got caught around the prop.  I think you can work out the rest.  Anyway I think it is a good lesson to all.

Catchya,

Simon

Stephen Polzin:
