Full on action packed
month this has been. It started with the Kalbarri Sports Fishing Classic with
loads of good sized
yellow-fin tuna that gave us a fair work-out, and it continued right through
the
month with every
hirer getting good numbers of big tuna and a few mackerel between then.
It still continues
and the dirty water spewing out the river mouth from the cyclone has fired up
the mackerel that are patrolling
the clean edges of the dirty water.
5.3m
boat magic
Dylan Meuller, Matt
Saunderson and Jasmine struck a good couple of days in the 5.3m boat.
Matt tells the story
After receiving great
discounted prices on our combined Boat and Accommodation Package
we headed up from
Perth to Kalbarri for 2 days fishing on the 5.3m boat and 3 nights stay.
The owners of the
business were very friendly and inviting as we were shown our boat and filled
in the paperwork.
Laurie was very good
to discuss fishing spots and strategies and we arranged a time for
him to launch the
boat for us the following morning and set off for the day with 3 on board our
little
game set up boat with
Skipper Matt, Dylan Mueller , and Jasmine.
Conditions were great
as we trawled the hot spots in look for some of the pelagic species with
regular radio contact with
Laurie for
information and how he was getting on in his charter trip. Between our 2 days
we had an
awesome time and
caught lots of amazing fish , the photos show for themselves ,
we highly recommend
the Boat , Accommodation and service and can’t wait to come back and do it all
again !
Thanks Laurie we
really did have an awesome time and really appreciated how much advice
you had to offer and
the fact you were willing to launch the boat for us and pick us up.
We are going away
traveling for a while but very keen to return and make the trip more regularly.
Regards , Matt , Dyl,
Jaz
When
it all comes together!
Hilton Rich-Bowles
and family had a great day out on Charter early March
It is not often you
get two quadruple hook-ups on big tuna as well as multiple doubles and singles.
It was one of those
days and it was non-stop action.
I even had time to
make a short video seeing son Ben was aboard skippering and helping out.
Here is the video
Quad tuna hook-up

and mackerel

Two
Boats big group!
The tuna and mackerel run continued with plenty
of fish to go round.
Ben Haran and brother Rob Haran hired the 6.5m
and 6.1m boat with their mates and had a ball.
The fish just kept coming in for them
Gamex here we come!
Oops, cyclone!
Matt Retallack and mates booked the 7.8m, booked their
accommodation in Exmouth and were set to
Compete in Gamex 2015 in Exmouth.
They arrive in Kalbarri with the looming threat of
Cyclone Olwyn bearing down on Exmouth.
The road was closed so they spent a day fishing out of
Kalbarri.
The cyclone went right over Exmouth
Off Kalbarri, the birds were working, tuna jumping and
the seas calm
It did not take long and they were all hooked up. 14
year old Matt landed his first tuna, but only got
the head back after a shark attack.
Back at the filleting table with Andrew and Matt, It’s
not that heavy Matt!
Exmouth roads were opened, but Gamex was cancelled!
They went anyway and towed the 7.8m
all the way up in search of marlin.
There were dolphin fish, GT’s and barracuda but best
of all there were marlin.
Young Matt fights his first marlin.
Matt with his first marlin. They got three marlin to
the boat.
All were released.
There were slow days
and long days but all were good
days.
Matt Retallack lost an estimated 200kg black 30m off
the back of the boat, Andrew got a dolphin fish and tuna,
Dale a big yellow-fin and 2 barracuda, Phil got his
first yellow-fin and dolphin fish.
Simon got his first GT, yellow-fin and blue marlin,
while Simon’s son Matt, got his first yellow-fin (head) and first marlin.
Not a bad set of firsts for the group!
