Bonito on Fly in Middle Harbour
December Brisbane trip…cancelled due to Covid…April Brisbane trip…cancelled due to Covid… And so, on a beautiful April morning, I launched my kayak from the Tunks Park boat ramp, fly rod in hand.

Aussie Salmon on the New Rod
For Christmas I was gifted an Okuma Azores jigging spin rod (Z-S-602M) and a Daiwa Saltist 4500 spinning reel, and was itching to put it to the test. This despite the fact that it was intended for a deep sea fishing trip (that was cancelled due to Covid) and was definitely overkill for my fishing …

Never a dull moment!
