August, being a busy month at work, left me little time to fish. When I could go out to sea, though, I made sure to get the type of fish I was targeting. One of my favourite food fish, the Spanish Flag Snapper, were in town, and I heard they were pretty large too. I wasted no time heading down to the Snapper spots with Snapper rigs.

On another occasion, three generations of Tans came along for a parrotfish hunting trip. Des brought his dad and his son along, and the son requested some Parrotfish. Off we went to the reef for some Blackspot Tuskfish.

Mid-sized parrots were around in good number, though I lost a huge one early in the trip. Parrots are tough dirty fighters, which make for pretty good sport on light gear.

Overall, these two August trips provided some nice relaxation time amidst a busy work month. Can't wait for October to arrive.
