Popular Post JDP Posted October 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Just gotten home from a remote fishing trip up north, just over 9000km of road and trails before heading out to an island where barrels of fuel had been dropped for the ten day fishing trip. Daily temps were a comfortable 38'c around the outside of the island but deciding to do a walk across the centre of the island through the red soft sand was pretty hot, to the point I had to stop every 500-800m to try and seek shelter from the heat 49.3c. Did a mix of boat and land based fishing, all of which was off the scale in terms of non stop action. Pacing yourself and taking plenty of breaks was a must. Keeping fully covered from the sun was another, hence why even my hands are covered by gloves. My biggest fish was taken using a whole live mullet intended for barramundi. This biggest fish I landed using a light 4 piece Bone Voyage travel rod and a small Shimano rarenium reel. The shovel nose ray was just over 2.400m and doesn't do justice from this image as its wings fall down over the gunnels. More to come.
