It's
been mackerel, mackerel and more mackerel this month. The water cleared up and
they came on the chomp.
The
temperature is still up around 22 degrees, and on their return migration for
southern climes having feasted on the bait fish
schools
and fattened up! Some are a lot bigger than usual as you can see in the pics
below
They
will be around for some time yet.
Picking a good day
Rhys
Jones and Mark Graeber had a single day out in the 6.5m boat with a bunch of
mates. They got stuck into
a
few macs up at the Sand Patch and do they look happy!
Mackerel
everywhere
and
a tuna to boot.
Fun Day Out
4
mackerel, a few big sharks taking lures, a dhuie, 2 snapper, big bald chin and
other stuff made up the day for Lui Crugnale
and
son Antony on a trip out during a wet rainy day early this month. Son, Jared
and girlfriend Emily joined the group and
got
stuck into the action. It was Emily's first trip out in a boat ever!. She
survived, stayed dry and avoided the dreaded seasickness!
7.8m boat trip
Arthur,
Julie, Marian, and Peter show off their catch caught out of the 7.8m boat this
month
A
mackerel just off the Sand Patch for Marian
and a good snapper for Arthur
Julie
got dragged all round the boat by this sambo which I am holding up for her
and
one hell of a baldchin groper
for
Peter. It pulled the digital lie detector down to 6.7kgs, one of the biggest
baldies I have ever seen!
Carnarfin Fun
Barry
Shultz and Mark Demeza entered the Carnarfin Fishing Comp early this month.
taking
the 6.5m boat out each day they fished well to land a variety of fish
The
mackerel were quite big,
Coral
trout colourful
and more big mackerel.
Kalbarri Delights
Dan Fenton and Darryl Cuthbert had a great
day out with the kids. No one had caught
a mackerel, let alone a large fish before
Even Hanna, far left, fishing for the first time ever caught her
first fish the evening before from the jetty, and then this mackerel the
following day.
They followed up with snapper, baldchin and
various bottom species to finish the day off.
Have a close look at Dan's fish, chomped in
half by a shark!
A good day out.
Megan
Swan booked a trip out with mates, Josh Fox, Helen Steuart, Kasey Massara and
Steve Perham.
She
had never caught a mackerel and was a major on her wish list especially so that
she could brag about it to her brother.
Well
take a look at this, brother!
A
trolling session at the end of the cliffs resulted in a few macs for the group
first up.
Then
later while hanging in close on anchor during a very windy morning this 15.1kg
mackerel hit a mulie set under
a balloon
out the back of the boat. Megan was very quick to grab the 10kg outfit and
fought it to the boat.
Kasey
Massara, Megan Swan and Steve Perham with some of the macs that day..
Kalbarri Offshore & Angling Club Local
Comp.
23rd June
My
sister, Barbara, is currently visiting
from her home town Chicago, and went out with wife Sue and Frank Rystenberg
game
fishing
during this months comp. (I was out with Megan Swan and her group) With Sue
skippering, she put them right
on
the fish and Barbara had a hook-up within 30 seconds of lines in only to loose
it after half an hour on 6kg line.
Next
hook-up for her was within minutes, landing this line class fish.
Frank then
took an hour or so to land this 13.6kg mac on 4kg line winning
him
the game section this month.
Another big baldie for Graeme during the comp.
Bite of the month was hard to pick between
this massive baldchin groper caught by Peter Dittrich and
and the 15kg mackerel landed by Megan Swan.
However, I do not recall ever seeing a
bigger baldchin groper, and such a prize fish, this is
an outstanding catch. Well done Peter!
