I had made up my mind that we needed to find some new waters to fish. So I asked Yuki and Ricky is they wanted to go, as well as Rosie and myself. I needed experienced anglers so I would know if there was fish or not.
The morning was a beauty, calm, almost too calm, a bit of sun and gin clear water.
We found some very fishy looking waters and began fishing.
It was not long before we had a double kook up to a couple of Red Bass.

Unfortunately the tides and moon were not in our favor. A bit of moving from place to place was called for and hence the warriors were made to wait.
Finally we get what we came for. A GT, the king of the reef. We knew they were here we just had to work out the formula, and Rosie cracked it first.

What happened Yuki? Where's the fish. Oh well, one of the side effects of barbless hooks. If the fish jumps and twists a lot there is a possibility it will throw the hooks.

The weather is starting to get a bit rough. The swell picks up out of the South and so does the wind. It is all I can do to keep the boat off the reef. But the area just looks too damn fishy to quit. Perseverance pays off and Ricky lands a nice Bluefin Trevally.
By now the wind is howling and it is really hard to even stand in the boat. Just as well, Yuki has an appointment to get to and we have a ways to go to get home.
As we head for home the conversation is all about the potential of our newly found fishing spot.
We decide unanimously that we can't wait to get back there and fish it some more.
