Abrolhos March 2022

 Hey guys,

 

Just throwing up some pics from an abrolhos trip earlier this year.

 

2 nights at the island

(stayed on the island because of friends) (very lucky)

plenty of big  baldies and trout, no pelagics in sight

Fish of the trip would have been the cod on 10lb, caught on a little 2.5" zman grub, 8lb fluro holding strong.

Otherwise would have been a stickbait-caught baldie on pe3 gear that would have been well over 10kgs that ran me around several ledges, making me swim out to stop it, and finally untangled it, got it to the shore and leader snapped because of the reef.

Was mainly a diving trip with a bit of trolling- although nothing caught trolling besides an infinite number of baby trout.

Fishing was mainly done landbased with lures (except for the squid) on the island, caught some other fish but mainly small

Saw some monster tailor which i thought were sambos whilst walking the reef, seeing them through the waves was unreal as they were massive 90cm+ fish with a couple  probably exceeding 1m+

 Lost plenty of big cod, trout, kings, sambos, pinks, and baldies on the light gear but loads of fun.

Went through 4 50m spools of leader.

Fresh seafood every night, squid, fish crays etc.

Hopefully go back sometime soon

 

Cheers,

Josh
