Hope everyone had a great christmas and new years break!
I just got back from spending a few weeks up in the tropics at kurrimine beach near innisfail with the family and friends. We had some brilliant days while up there, did a bit of fishing and touring around, but this year i did alot of spearfishing for a change, and it was sure worth it!
During our stay the fishing was relativily slow as can be expected for this time of year, but in saying that there was some good fish caught. A mate of mine up there landed two huge spaniards one morning of 50 and 70lb and the boys went on an overnighter out wide and come home with a good bag of large reds, nanny's and some quality trout.
While this was going on i put in a few days of spear fishing on the closer reefs, i didnt keep count of the total of fish and crays that i speared but i did quite well.
We spent christmas morning on one of the close in islands and had a champagne breakfast followed by a swim and then off home for a feed of prawns,crays,mudcrabs,coral trout and red emperor for lunch! what a feast!
Theres plenty of fishing stories and yarns i could tell but i'll put up a few pics i took while out on the reef chasing crays and trout...foxy
first cray of the trip
