summers back, yay! creek trip 22/10/12

I have burnt feet, a sore back, flies in my face and mud on my clothes. Yeah it feels like summer is back in the Pilbara and really, it's about bloody time...

I’d like to share a few photos from a fun day we had up the creek yesterday (Monday 22/10/12)

My deckie, Pete picked up a nice 64cm barra on the trawl early on. but the highlights for me were two large threadys. As the tide began to flow back in I was very excited to land the first one. At 113cm it was a new PB. This didn’t last long however, as not more than 10 minutes later I landed another fish that dwarfed the previous capture. It measured 122cm and put up one of the most impressive fights I have seen in a creek. Its power and its acceleration as it ran me up and down the system were amazing.

To top it off I managed to land a large mud crab on a soft plastic. this bad boy went straight into the esky and went down well as a snack with a few beers once I got home.

Welcome back summer

64cm Barra for pete
