Here we go again - amazing place must be the coolest place on earth I’ve yet to visit. We got heaps of snapper up to about 80+ cm and some local and tropical fish and I managed to have a shark encounter again pulling up a Samson Fish (like a kingy)

Was a great trip Andrew .
I got severly sharked and landed a few decent snapper and had a ball spending time in an awesome part of the world with a great group.

Depends who you speak to - think of it as what Hamilton is to Perth except it’s on the coast and bloody hot +windy with flies

Abrolhos on the other hand is amazing
