Quick Trip to Kalbarri
Headed up to Kalbarri for a couple days with Callum on a boys trip. Conditions weren't too bad but different to what was forecast with the swell staying up resulting in weed being a major nuisance.
Fishing was slow and we delayed coming home by a day, allowing for a last ditch trip up the coast with Tangles (a big thanks to him for everything) in hope of a big mulloway. I managed a small one before first light and then a nice shovel which put me through my paces. Callum dropped a good fish which would without doubt have been mulloway of the trip with only a few schoolies hitting the beach.
The tailor were on the chew with Callum and I landing 5 between us (4 on lures) over the few days with the biggest going to Cal at a cool 78cm (20mm short of the mark that's been haunting him for a while) and the smallest coming in around 65cm. A bigeye trevally was a first for me on spin, not such a common catch that far down the coast apparently.
A great trip with plenty of laughs, you'll land that Spaniard you lost at Red Bluff next time Cal!

Fuck yeah
Well done, some killer fush and good times I bet. Shovelly is great size, and the Tailor would have been a good kick too.
Were you using anchored baits for the mullo or running setups ?
\m/ Keep on killin' it.
