Rompin pictorial (heavy on bandwidth)

Further to Rudi's post on Rompin here are some pictures from my trip in August with Rudi, Simon and Tony. Pictures are from various sources, have some gopro & other HD footage which needs to get put into a video including some trollpro action of fish coming up on the teasers.
What really struck me was the number of sails you see while out at the fishing ground, if the fish are really tight up on baitballs they can be dificult to get to key into the teasers.

How many sails can you count here?

Fish are teased to the boat and Cam Sigler style popper heads and tube flies are presented, 12 weights are standard gear matched with a reel with adequate backing.
Image

It's really visual fishing, especially if the fish misses the fly on the initial switch out from the teaser. On most occasions the fish will come back for a second look at the fly - spot the popper (and multiple fish).

The eat, then hope for a good hookup.

Great photos. Rompin is a very special place. I can't think of anywhere in the world where you can consistently see/raise Sails in those numbers.
