Gold band trip
While up in Exmouth for xmas we took a run out to Adam and Jeffs favourite goldband spot.We dragged the billfish gear on the way out with no success so it was out with the bottom gear.Grandson Alex got his first goldband,Jeff got 3 and I got a big nor west blowie untill 2 big dolphin fish showed up.It was a quick tie a hook onto the spare rod---bottom gear with 30lb braid,a bit of bait and after a quick fight which we taped and released it to fight another day.Still trying to work out how to upload the clip.
Things went quiet so out with the billie gear and not two minutes later we had a sailfish on just long enough to get a good look at it jump twice and throw the hooks.As far as fish goes that was it for the day.Ran in to Adam and Renae doing their bit to temp a billfish without any luck.

I think its Mako Matt's.He's looking after it in between Matt;s trips up so he doesn't have to pay for storage or drag it up each time.A nice little rig

Shark
It had a good bite on the sinker and it wasn't about to let it go either.It was determined to get back at the thing pulling its tail

like the photos Alex but you
like the photos Alex but you look a little bit unsure in the last one. You might have have another photo to send to the Sunday Times. 2009 was a good year for you and the fish mate we hope there's plenty more in '10.
