Adam Saarinen 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2017 Could happen Dave!?! Oldies sold farm in Oberon b4 I came & bought in Callala bay, Jervis bay while I was here! Close to Point Perpendicular, apparently the only place in the world where you can game fish off the rocks for Marlin!?! Guy that let me play with Sage X 8wt said his friend caught 120kg black marlin in may last year, but took five years trying! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 Good batch of pictures. Couple of good looking fish. NEAT ... seeing an octopus and a snake while out there. It's those little nature sights that can make or break a trip, sometimes. Â Glad you had a good time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Saarinen 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 Thanks Mike! I was lucky my friend noticed the Octopus & lucky a guy pointed out where a snake was on a track from the beach! Want to go again next summer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agn54 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 Great pics Adam! Good looking fish. Those flatheads look a lot like our lizzard fish. Ours have little teeth that can mess up a fly or jig, and your fingers if your not careful. That trevally looks like it would put up a hell of a fight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saltybum 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 Interesting fly line management device you're wearing. How does that work compared to the standard stripping basket? Â That photo of dinner is making me very hungry too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kudu 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 Adam Where are the beer and bikini pics (and I don't mean you in a bikini)? Glad you had a good trip! The BBQ does look tasty! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Saarinen 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 Thanks Andy! Trevally was a lot of fun, best part was my mate with his spin rod thought fly wouldn't work!:-) Thanks Salty! It's the c&f line pallet, size M, very light, easy to put in lagage bag, also has a strap that tightens around inside of leg, but maybe not the best in surf? Thanks Kudu! I've got a photographic memory with auto zoom & focus! Don't worry, there are some nice little tighties down there!:-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
