A new gallery of images taken on our last trip to Baja visiting East Cape and Cabo San Lucas is now online. Still working on some video and more pictures but it is time I shared something here at Aussie Fly Fish. More on the way mates!
I like to catch all types of fish and this Gafftopsail Pompano is just an example of how sometimes little things are just gold to me.
Sometimes the small things in life are gold. Gafftopsail Pompano Cabo San Lucas.

What a difference today was with sunshine and plenty of fish making a splash. Al Keller had us on a few ripper redfish today after a brisk run to the grounds. We had a brief stop along the way to drag a wayward boat off a mud flat. 5 guys were happy to see us but a little embarrassed about cutting the corner too close. A couple of snaps of today’s fish below. More from New Orleans soon. Randall and Kate.
Flipping out about my new logo
I have just uploaded a new video online this short 1.5 min clip shows a bonefish that I found buried up to his gills in the sand before I cast to him. We were fishing at the Pesca Maya Fishing Lodge in Mexico. This is a first attempt with Final Cut Pro software so I’m having a step learning curve with audio etc. All of your feedback both good and bad is appreciated. Thanks Mates.
It seems to be raining tarpon at Isla Blanca.
