After the spring equinox winds it was great to get out with little or no wind. A keen crew of four, a camera man & a top skipper left the warf at Sulphur point with much expectation. The day started well with Ben (Jahmin) kicking things off with a solid kingy on his new top water stick bait setup, I managed a smaller model on a jig which went back for another day a short time later, John put another in the bin & Jim (Arfasprout) had a real goody on which fought hard & long only to earn its freedom just below the boat. Bugger!! Not a heap of fish but still a great way to kick off the season for me personally coming away having met some keen as fishos, a top charter skipper in Ben (Nomad) sore arms from jigging all day & a big smile on my dial. Just had a quick break to scoff a bit of smoked kingy frame. Cheers Ben!! So all up the fishing was hard, the crew were sweetas, the chater boat & skipper top notch, Ben (Jahmin) got to blood his new top water set & I blooded my two new Stella's, got home safe & had a couple of cold beers so happy days.
Can highly recommend a charter with Nomad & if you do book with Ben ask him to show you his Ripple Fisher rods, they are awesome. Cheers skip for a great day!
