Nowt special but I'm happy

[Nooo Fish]

Alright lads.

I bought my savage gear bushwacker yesterday so I had to go and try it today.

I went along marsden and fished off the bit rock to the left of camels island tried a spinner a couple of jellies and a plug for an hour. Lost 2 jellies and the spinner but I was having fun. I'm well impressed how far the rod casts a Texas rig with a 10g bullet.

Not a sniff there so I moved along to the concrete ramp with the smashed pipe and same again there. Lost me wedge lure as well so I walked back to the car and went to roker pier.

Stopped along the pier between the steps and fished with the Texas rig again and after about 5 chucks I caught this. Small cod.



I was chuffed to bits. I wasn't sure it was a bite at first cos I was dragging the lure along the bottom and it kept catching but then I felt it shake it's head and the end of me rod was knocking canny. I took it slow reeling it in cos it was toppa feeling the fish try to get away.

Only bother was I forgot my card for the lure challenge but never mind. I broke me new rod and reel in. That'll do me.

And cheers to the lads that helped me when I was lookin for my rod.

Well done mate, shame you forgot your card but im sure it won't be your last. Good to see some fish being caught. Guess its time I headed down to rate the sea air again

Great catch on light gear

 

[Nooo Fish]

Cheers lads. I was surprised how clear the water was when I was down marsden. I could see my lure about 5 ft under the water when it was close in.
