ISLAND FEVER

Weather has been unpredictable of late, what with the volatile wind and the typhoon hitting Taiwan, the offshore fishing has taken a back seat to some close inshore fishing. And there's no better way then to load up the tinny and take a trip down to nearby islands for some light tackle fun.
Perfect fishing weather.
Nice calm waters. Good fishing to come...
Didn't take too long to hook up to some rock fishes like this honeycomb grouper on the Ima Gun Peki 40g.
There were plenty of this grouper around just climbing all over the Ima Gun.
Blue Hind not willing to be outdone.
Beautiful in the water but soon they became pesky. 
DUO Ikkako got snaffled.
  We soon hit a school of GTs below the boat. Majorcraft Volkey used to pull some schoolies up.
Nice fight for its size. Taken on the ever useful DUO Ikkako.
A golden snapper got into the mix with the GTs to snatch the Ima Gun Peki.
When the schoolies got spooked and swam away, there was only one method to hunt for them...
Cast a Jackson Pintail far from the boat and just burn it back. 

 Long casting rod like the Majorcraft Giant Killing bent on a nicer GT.
Shining sheen at boatside. 
Not big but they fight hard. Pintail Tune is the sh*t!
All the GTs were carefully released.
When things quieted down there's always the little ones to entertain like this baby barracuda. 
Ikkako just catching anything and everything in between like this yellow pomfret like fish.
Calling it quits after a long day.
