Had a chance to go out on a charter trip thru work with Graham Scotts From Keppebay Escapes.(Grahams ausfish member)
Graham runs Keppelbay Escapes including some bare hire boats for charter and skippered charter boats. We were on a 11 metere Voyager Cat the Konomi Dreaming. On board were 6 of us from work including one of the boss's daughters Graham and a decky called Ralph.
We were well looked after in every aspect from food and knowledge and subjected to some amazing fishing. We were put thru it all including some Big bait trolling bottom bashing soft plastics and GT Popping.
The fishing was incredible with Tuskie's Coral Trout Cod Lippers Redthroat Queenies GT's Moses Perch Coral trout.
Graham showed us some great technqics in nall the aspects of fishing with even him showing us how to catch a 22.5kg cod on a white 7inch gulp. The action was hot on the poppers with some nice sized GT's .This was my first time popping and didn't mind it one bit.
So if anyone is interested in a great charter trip out Try KeppelBay Escapes well worth it.
I'll add more pics as the boys send me some

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges
Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)
As I got to the end of the post my response out loud was f@#$ing H#$%..a simple statement reflecting my response to a fabulous trip - great report - there seems to be quite a number of good charter operators around and it is good they get the recognition for their work.......fantastic trip - feel happy for you....cheers...Geeb
You're just plain showing off now JT
Looks like you had a good day on the water. Even better when the Boss is paying for it.
What island is that behind you? Doesnt look like you are that far out.
