We were in the area and hoped to see some but NADA, I would have like to have got a nice pic but kinda happy to know they still roaming free and not hanging from a gantry.

Jip... he is well and working for Colin - Warner beach raises it's ugly head! He was our chum master and worked like a dog for the 9 days we were there and never stopped trying and nothing was too onerous for him...

WOW! What an amazing adventure, and a priviledge to experience waters like that! Really good report too, I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you!

Some clips of rainbow runners and the pack of Jacks that followed me with camera, gun and rod... no matter what they were around! This video I took whilst swimming back to the boat and simply pointing the camera back between my legs....

This is one of my favourite clips of Colin coming up and a shoal of Horse eye Jacks coming to have a look and Steve diving down and taking a shot at a rainbow runner (and missing!).... The footage in HD is just breathtaking...

Day 7 - Video of large Great Barracuda

We don't eat them so don't shoot them, but great to see, I estimate this one well over 30kg.

Tommo, Krissi and Braham, thank you, it always great to hear some positive feedback and great to share a bit... I will try post a bit more video next week.

7/10

WOW this is an insane report!! Absolutely blown away by the photos, videos and fish!! Super envious but thanks for an epic effort in compiling this report Tony!

7/10's quite an adventure you guys took on, glad you guys managed that 1 sizaa YFT you were after. You being both an angler and spearo must be quite difficult deciding what to do the next day out.

for the effort in putting the report together.

Sometimes it is but I love both so does not bother me too much which I get in as long as the fish are there.... what really interest me is the size the Sangoras get there ... biggest so far 67kg! there is a picture of it in the local hotel and I am sure that a YFT could come out there over 150kg. I will be back!!
