After standing for a few years the record for the largest fish caught inshore at the resort has been broken!
We had the pleasure of having the Howe family recently stay with us at Eratap and brothers Tom & James certainly gave the big fish around the Resort something to think about.
Each day they went out they hooked into a nice fish and then they landed a massive 35kg Giant Trevally. This easily eclipsed the previous inshore record which was a 22kg barracuda. A great effort considering they were casting to the shore from one of our boats – it was apparently quite a struggle bringing it in! Like all good fishermen they ensured it was fit and well enough to be released unharmed once the obligatory photos were taken of course.
Well done Tom & James, you guys really know your stuff and certainly fooled some of the bigger fish swimming around. No wonder the boat boys were queuing up to take you fishing!
