19th October
Spent the
last couple of weeks up the Cape, lots of sight fishing wading
the beaches and sand flats.
Big Queenfish,
Giant Herring and Golden Trevally were all on the wish list
of the flyboys and we filled that many times over.
I grabbed
a few Talon Titanium Blue fly reels from Uncle Barry, number
3's, before the trip and they went like hot cakes, the reels
performed very well, excellent drags, super light weight and
not too mention excellent value for money.
Blistering
runs by big Queenfish and Trevally, on the flats those guys
only have one way to go and that's straight out and taking your
backing with them. I honestly tried my best to give the reels
a work out, they spent time underwater in the sand and with
the drag full on and lined up to go again the next day and the
next day and so on.
Talon Saltwater
hooks held up under lots of pressure, number 2 clousers were
rebuilt several times during the week, some of those hooks would
have caught a couple of dozen fish and were still going strong.
The white
and pink with Barry's Pearl Flash light weighted clousers worked
best, in shallow water you don't need to sink fast and light
weight means better presentation to sometimes spooky fish.
We found
a school of Giant herring that could have fed Africa, one of
the guys must have landed a dozen in as long as it takes to
fight a dozen Giant Herring on steroids.
The Barra
bit very well, a few days catching numbers I won't bother mentioning
because those of you that haven't seen it will find it hard
to believe.
Big Threadfin
Salmon in the rivers and Blue Salmon out on the beaches topped
off a trip to remember for a long time. Straight into at Hinchinbrook
this week, will report on that next week.
Catch you
next week.
Good fishing, Dave
