Fishing Articles & Bloggs:
Been a bit slack on the web site updates in recent months - Facebook is just too easy to use while out in the field 
We have been doing plenty of fishing & I can honestly say we are Tuna'd out at present -
Katrina would also endorse this - And it has been great fun. Most fish have been taken using soft plastics including Squidgy flick baits & snapbacks.
The longtails have varied in size from jelly beans up to around 10kgs .... Our favourite outfit being the Shimano T-Curve Snapper spin & Stella SW 5000 with 20lb Power Pro braid.
There's been plenty of Mac Tuna about as well - always an anti-climax when you've cast into a boiling patch on Longtails !
With the cooler weather we have also started looking about the creeks & straights with some nice school jew about - there's gotta be some larger models here as well ....
Grunter are always a welcome surprise as well & tasty ........
There has also been some great prawning over the last month & we should see the larger ones over the next few weeks before they taper off .... Nath in action
Fresh prawns & calamari Mmmmmmmmmmm
Did I mention there's also been some mud crabs about as well ........................
Fresh Mudcrabs & Tuna Mmmmmmmmmmm
The weather is finally coming good & the seasons are changing with cooler starts to each day now - the hardest decision from now on will be what to chase next
