Title: Playin with the locals...UPDATED 1/25/14
Post by: Shane Clark on December 29, 2013, 05:16:20 PM
Hey guys been a bit slack on the forum front with the newborn getting settled in an all. Here's some action from yesterdays solo session of Mackay, Qld AU.
The star lure of the session was a BFP Swimbaits Mafia One "Fusilier" raising 4 fish in 5 casts before donating it to a horse hooked in less than 4 feet of water! Oh well cant stop em all... :)
ENJOY!

Good to see a local GT post. Better order a replacement, that colour was clearly working.

Your mistake was using a lure big fella.

If it was a carrot and or a Red Bull can I am sure the fish would have been boated  ;)

Nicely done bud must be awesome to be able to head out on a solo mission when you feel like it the boat also looks pefect for a casting platform.

Nice work, Shane! Can't be easy to fight a fish and manoeuvre the boat simultaneously. Hats off to you. Gotta love a local GT - wish I had those down here in Sydney!

Hey Shane, that is really good footage - did you record with GoPro? If so wondering which type and which setting you recorded the footage on? Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words guys, yes Allister its all captured on GoPro Black 3 & 3+ with both of them set to 1080p 60fps Wide Angle to capture the most amount of action.
