so that's fish 3 city slickers 1 now.
or girls 1 men 0

Not quite, Fish 4, city slickers 1.

I spent 15 minutes playing the cobia and had him up against the side of the kayak and as I was reaching for the trace he gave it one last kick. I was using really light gear and the shock snapped the tip off the rod, the line also went with it and he swam off with my brand new Halco lure. Unfortunately I can't offer any advice on how to get it back in to shore on the kayak or a SUP as I hadn't fully thought it through

Looking forward to landing a Ningaloo goat next year, what bait do you use to fish for them? Having a feral goat thrashing around in the kayak is going to be tricky too.

Today, my body aches from so much sup and so much kiting. Howling off shores today (in the am), so get to rest up a bit. Board shorts, sunburn, 7m kites, more wind that the body can handle, cold beer, steaks, stories of the fish that got away, good mates, its a great time away...

So many turtles, they are almost like pests! .

yup , and turtles are cool, wouldn't dream of fishing for them. I'm just hoping the goats are outside the sanctuary zones, is there a legal minimum size? bag limit?

Sorry Chris I was playing dumb as the Ningaloo marine goat is a prize catch and locals don't like outsiders knowing about them. I hear the best bait is a leprechaun tied to a cray pot.

Leaving for Exmouth next week. First time in the area.

Any tips for accommodation?

Driving or flying Sci? If you fly in, rent a campervan from Exmouth Camper Hire. If you drive in, I'd camp. Hotels in Exm are spendy and miles from the best kiting spots.

Hey see you boys there. Should be there by wed week, gonna hit a few places on way up. Look out for a rebel flyer without a clue!

heading up there this friday
