What a Trip....highlight was being hooked up to a 200kg marlin for 2 mins and the spectacular display it put on. Swam with turtles and sharks....unbelievable stuff. Well the fishing was simply amazing....mostly did bottom bashing due to people wanting their 20kg of demersals, but would have liked to experience more. Guys i've been instructed to organise a trip for us next year to experience the rest montes has to offer. So i'll post pics and details later. Here's a taste of what pics i'll be posting later. |

Grey wealthies from the Mandurah canals. Lost the marlin due to line snapping, apparently it was used for sharks last use....skipper wasn't happy when the deckies didn't listen to check line before use. Ah well, another trip I'm sure I'll see another |

At 2.5K I could be persuaded. The write up should be a good read. |

Well I'll get the ball rolling for October next year. Should be more sailies and spaniards around then marlin seem to be around nov dec. However I think we'd be more into GT popping and Jigging and catching demersals to fill the bags to take home. I'll get a price established and I think we should organise sponsorship with shirt prints and organise a mag write up to sell the sponsorships. That way we can subsidise the price a little. I'm open for ideas though. |

Interesting idea Spence, but if you're going to chase sponsorship I'd imagine you'd need to take someone with a few mag articles under their belt so you can pitch it. Maybe you'll manage some free gear samples to take along? Good luck. |

No idea Moohan, just pitching ideas. And i think someone will know a good reputable person who will tag along amongst this crew. |
