One of those stories that for some reason did not get posted. Well, here it is. Better late than never.
This trip happens way back in late October 2014 with David, Nick and Sek on a fly fishing trip in Rompin.
The trip was bogged by bad weather and short fishing time.
We did however, get some fish. A few good fish came off and in the end two juvenile sailfish was landed.
Getting ready at the pier
Flat out in rougher than usual waters
Moment when the fly popped-out from a sailfish’s mouth just by the boat
Nick is the first to land a juvenile sailfish. They are usually very aggressive and swim together in a small school.
Note the fly hooked at the tip of the bill. Note also the teeth-like feature on the upper jaw of the sailfish.
David quickly followed suit with another juvenile sailfish.
Smaller sailfish often exhibit bright colouration
All you can see in the heavy rain is a white wall
Some of the stomach content regurgitated by a sailfish. Among the anchovy, we could not identify one of the fish.

Sek, ever the hardcore angler all drenched fishing in the downpour with the spinning gear.
