w2Bf has done an excellent job of describing the fishing action on the trip. I will just add a bit of information to put it into geographical perspective.Check out this map:http://kangarooislandvisitorguide.realviewdigital.com/#folio=M1• We launched from Western River Cove (Map Reference A3)• First night’s anchorage was at Weirs Cove (D2)• Second night’s anchorage was at Vivonne Bay (D5)• Third night’s anchorage was at Antechamber Bay (D10)• Fourth night’s anchorage was at Emu Bay (A7)All up, we covered about 500-600km, when you consider we circumnavigated the island and had quite a few diversions along the way. Bear in mind that the direction of travel for this trip is very much governed by the prevailing weather conditions. Our original dates were changed from late April to early May because of forecast bad weather - a decision which proved to be correct, as generally the weather was quite reasonable for most of the trip.Our food and drink requirements on board were met more than adequately – we had an wonderful Chef (who also likes to fish) on board, and he managed to conjure up some magical meals with limited resources and sometimes in trying conditions.The first and the final nights were in comfortable accommodation at cottages at Western River.A couple of pics to whet your appetite:Cheersaf[if you would like further background to this thread, please check out “South Australian Angler” August/September 2010 (pp 6-12) and June/July 2011 (pp 28-33)]

Day 3 came along and we had the deep divers out again on the way to fish a little known wreck near mouth flat. i think we might have got one Bluefin but they werent playing the game unfortunatly. on last years trip this area is where they hooked and lost the 100kg+ Tuna so everyone had the heavy gear out but no joy. Anyway, we got to the wreck and everyone was pretty amped up about what we might catch there as our deckie Hairs is also a longliner and had previously caught some nice mulloway at this spot so anticipation was high as we dropped the anchor. luck didnt seem to be on our side though as no one caught a mully but much fun was had on some nice snapper, nannys, the odd morwong and other fish. we moved around a bit but couldnt nail down any of the brutes the south side is famed for. it would have been nice to get out to young rocks, big kingfish country, but the weather simply didnt permit it so we were the first group in the 3 years that this trip has been happening that didnt get out there but thats fishing.decided to leave the wreck a little bit early as there were birds diving around us everywhere and as previously mentioned we knew that big tuna swim through here so we broke out the skirts and trolled our way to the 3rd anchorage, zig zagging through the flocks of birds hoping to hear a screaming reel but sadly it didnt happen.when we got to the anchorage we immediatly broke out the shark rods again and it wasnt long before we hooked up to some rays again. i was lucky enough to also catch a Wobbegong Shark that was estimated to be around 9ft and 120kgs (photo of it on the SA Angler facebook page for those who are interested). whilst thrashing around on deck it spewed up one of the biggest squid that i have ever seen! nice bait for the next day.

Weirs Cove was the first overnight anchorage, w2bf...and I agree with your assessment of Gavin Solly and KIFA - top stuff, indeed.I'll put up a post in the next day or so as well, but as a teaser, I'll throw up a pic of what is undoubtedly the "most interesting catch of the trip", which should definitely be awarded to w2bf (I'll let him explain the details later!).Cheersaf

Noticed in a Newsagent this morning another fishing mag entering a seemingly already crowded market. It's called "FishLife". (Check out the attached link, if you're interested - there are some of the "usual suspects" in the list of contributors.)http://www.fishlife.tv/Cheersaf

Bloody hell!!!What size jag were they using? :woohoo:

From the Inside Fishing Facebook Page:"The All England Squid Championships descended into farce when only one of the 70 competitors managed to catch a squid and had to be proclaimed champion with only a 1cm specimen. Red-faced organiser 'Fishy' Rob Howard blamed the weather conditions, saying he wanted to cancel the competition - but competitors had travelled to Brighton from all over the country."Hahahah! TT

Flagon Dry again?

U4LI agree with talbo - don't bother with the circle hooks, as they're not designed for that particular purpose. Here's a couple of options you might like to try, depending on your lure:As you can see, one style of hook has its eye at a 90 degree angle compared to the other. Feel free to experiment with hook size to make sure you don't upset the action of the lure.Hope this helps...Cheersaf
