It’s been a long time between post for me, partly due to the dry season ‘cold snap’ where the barra shut down when the water gets below a chilly 26 degrees, and a hectic work schedule. Last weekend made up for my lack of fishing action though. I don’t know if it was the mega full moon, big tides or the remoteness of…

Weekend report
I wrote a post a few weeks ago about my growing fishing itch that needed to be scratched. Well, I have to admit that I didn’t end up fishing that weekend…moving house and other life-related admin got the better of me, and needless to say, I have been pining for some fishing. Graz and I headed down to Wallaga Lake…

Swamp sessions
Living in the Kimberley for a short stint took me to some damn scenic fishing spots. I wasn’t expecting to add another one to the list when good mates Snav and Omar suggested we hit ‘the swamp’. Jumping in the back of Snav’s troopy I found a spot wedged between eskys and live bait tanks. We settled in for what…
Trip Report: Bare Sand Island – An explosion of awesome
It was our second trip to Bare Sand but the first since it was closed to the public. A bomb removal project was underway and access to the island was restricted to men with guns (or maybe just metal detectors), turtle researchers and us. It was through the turtle research angle that my determined housemate managed to extract a permit…

Eden 14th and 15th of September- Mullet on fly and
I visited my parents in Eden this week to drop off their car, which I had borrowed and managed to sneak in a bit of a fish. First up on the menu was fly fishing for Mullet in the little estuary right in the middle of Eden. I started late and only fished for half an hour, till the wind…
Eden and Wonboyn Lake fishing report, August 12-14 2011
Day 1 My alarm clock started blaring far too early the morning. I flapped around in the dark to hit snooze and went back to sleep. After this scene repeated four or five times I checked the time to see how long I had before my taxi arrived. “Shit!, 4:55!”. I was awake, out of bed and out the door…
First fish on the Tenkara (plus a south coast fishing report)
Well it was back to work today which was a very rude shock after five days of action packed relaxing. As is the norm after returning from a long weekend at the coast filled with early starts, late nights and a few too many old fashioned’s I’m a little flat, mostly exhausted and questioning whether I could possibly be hungover…
