Lucky Bay( Western Australia ): Sept 2016
One of the really amazing things about Australia is that you can find a stretch of beach and have no-one on it!
It does require some preparation and a proper 4wd.
This adventure took my fishing buddy and I to a pristine and rugged coastline along the Kalbarri coast.
Dropping the pressure
Heading out, with clear skies, yeah..its gonna be a great day!
Driving out..
We were in awe with the beauty, and could not wait to find our fishing spot!
Sunshine, and blue water. First and only vehicle spotted for the weekend!
Eventually picking a spot, and setting up the pop up tent, we started to prepare for fishing, cooking,and some beer!
It was not long before we had some good bites!
While fishing, we put the rods on the stand and started to prepare a lazy lunch.
As the evening rolled in, I caught a beautiful tailor ( shad ), among some other fishes.
This called for some good wine,bacon cooked over fire with baked potatoe,and Nandos hot sauce!
and cheese twisties by fire..lol
During the night we had a storm hit, I could feel my legs lifting, and we realised the tent was picked up with the wind, we quickly dismantled it ( at 2am ) lol! and slept in the car.
The next morning, we continued fishing, and 4wding on the sand dunes, just having fun, then time for a late breakfast, the sunny skies had changed to a cold, rainy day!!
We found after the rain, some stretches of the beach we really soft, we did not need to engage diff locks or even low range at all, as long as we dropped the pressure down to 14 psi, and kept momentum, it was all good :)
I decided to see how the Triton will do without momentum, and soft sand...
The next day showed a colder side of WA, but still beautiful af.
On the way back we found that the rain had created some fun puddles, so of course we drove through them :)
Well, that was our fishing trip, I am having fishing withdrawal symptoms as I write this:)
Happy adventuring folks!
