I was lucky enough to snag a last minute invite on a 3-day trip with a bunch of guys from work and a few others out to the southern end of the Capricorn Bunker Group aboard the “James Cook”
We left 1770 around 2am Saturday and arrived out at the fishing grounds just on sunrise. The weather was just superb (and remained that way for the rest of the trip). Within minutes of pulling up on the Neil’s spot ‘X’ No. 1 we had the lines down and were all into some quality trout and spanglies.
Up ‘till this point I had been feeling a bit guilty for being such a free-loader (not having played any role whatsoever in the organization of the trip and jumping onboard at the last minute ), but within those first few drops, seeing the quality of fish on offer, that feeling of guilt was soon replaced by a feeling of excitement and anticipation of what the trip would have in store for us over the next three days.
I won’t bore everyone with all the finer details – the pics do most of the talking as far as fishing goes, but I will just say that a fun time was had by all. Plenty of good laughs are what really turn a good trip into a great one, and there was certainly no shortage of those. The superb fishing and awesome weather were just a bonus in my books.
Thanks again to the owner/skipper Neil and deckie/cook Dave for such an awesome time and making us feel so welcome on board. Your hospitality and friendly, generous nature are second to none and the meals were top shelf to boot.
If anyone would like any more info on the “James Cook”, send me a PM and I’d be happy to pass on Neil’s contact details.
Apologies to Tony (Agnes Jack) for not stopping in and saying G’day – unfortunately we were travelling in a group which makes it difficult to visit people, plus we were not in town for long and when we were the time of day was not conducive to clear concise conversation.
