The weather was not looking so good on this particular Sunday, so we decided to stay inside the reefs and do a bit of light tackle fishing.
Out comes the 6lb to 30lb gear. Now anytime you pull out this light of tackle in the ocean, your gear is bound to get smashed and busted. We were not let down. Lots of tackle was lost, but a lot of fish were landed too.
The weather did not disappoint us either. It blew harder and harder as the day progressed. Good thing we stayed inside.
A rather ominous looking morning sky.
Wayne with the first of many on his little 6lb soft plastic grub set-up.
Rosie catching the toothy critters without a steel trace. (Barracuda)
Brendan with a little bluefin trevally.
Another toothy critter. (Gar fish or Long Tom)
This is a little better bluefin.
A baby grouper or coral trout.
Now we're talking dinner. Rosie with a green job fish caught on bait.
Two at a time. A long nose emperor and a grouper
Another good day on the water despite the weather. Come to think of it, as long as we get home safely, it is always a good day on the water.

Love it..looks like a lot of fun and variety on the reefs there. Beautiful trevally!
Six pound test in the ocean? Now that sounds like a riot!! That Long Tom is really cool!
Seems you guys had a lot of fun that Sunday. I also love going out on Oregon for fishing with few of my buddies, I don't know, just find it pleasurable. Oregon Fishing
Awesome day you guys had! That long nose emperor is an awesome catch! Catching more than 5 good ones in a day is definitely not bad. Depending on the fishing spot, and sometimes even on the season, even 2 catches would be pretty rare. Do you have any other fishing trips planned in the near future?
