Finally got the images from our trip to Steep Point at the end of Feb. We were attacked by flies, sand whipped by the tail end of a cyclone, had the 12kg ballooning gear smashed by sailfish and caught a few mac's, tuna and a few baldies and snapper.We may not of been the most successful group there mackie wize but we were the best at feeding the sharks and hooking and landing tuna. Another group fortunately out gunned us at feeding the grouper and some boy's from collie took us to the cliffs where we caught some snapper ect, thanks Vince and his crew. I saw 2 reels die on the trip, 1 was my 8500ss which died at the hands of a tuna, and another siezed on a mackies 1st run. The bloke walked backwards 100m and amazingly the fish was gaffed and almost landed as it jumped free inches from the top of the cliff. We were befriended by a Gimp mid trip who turned out to be quite a good fisherman himself, and provided much entertainment to everyone.

Based on the photos above perhaps there is market niche for fishwrecked gimp masks ;)

I dont think too many people will be interested in the gimp masks.. Especially after seeing what happens when you put one on. The gimp needs a bath??? I think those rock hoppers have a few issues.
