Little video of shooting a mulloway. When shooting these fish along with many other species getting a good holding shot is needed for that first run.

Coming & GoingJuly, and it must be winter. But we have read and heard of plenty of divers groveling in cold, murky waters and others heading off for a spell in tropical waters where they won’t have to wear a 7mm wetsuit with all the extra lead weight that entails.

Yesterday morning i received a phone call from Paul, he had been attacked by a 27kg Barracuda after shooting the fish down at "the spot".
