Well, finally luck at last, caught a beautiful 38cm Blackie from a snag on a Oar- gee this mornin around 11am. It was fantastic, it fought like train, took a couple of photos and let it free, it was unreal. Heaps of tailor nailing the lures as well. Nothin gonna spoil my day.
Cheers

Damien, if you've got a photo - post it up.

Half the fun attached to catching a good fish is the bragging rights.

Thanks Fellas, it absolutely great sport. I have fished the Albrolhos Islands, Kalbarri Cliffs, Ningaloo Reef quite extensively when i was professionally fishing but this is a quite a different kettle of fish to catch, im hooked.

Well done Damien.

I took Steve Pankhurst out for a bit of a fish down at Walpole as well and he nailed a 38, his biggest on lures, on a scorpion purple people eater. Check out the smile.
