swung by i.d get meself some bait and a chat on to the bloke that says "MYA" instead of "you know" haha. got to st peters basin bout quarter to 9 this morning, scotty (from on here) was poppin down too for a few hours.. set up by myself not expecting much maybe a few whitin n flatties so on went a two hook flapper with size 1/0 just little hooks. half a rag and a tiny piece of makky on the tip and sent about 40 yards out. first cast 10 mins in line went totally slack and thought maybe a whitin hit it...... until the line tightened up again and went ballistic, struck into it with a good heavy thump on the end. i couldn't get it anywhere near the top so i knew i was into a good fish. anyway after a crackin fight it came to the surface and i nearly **** a brick. it was huge (for me anyway). i got the balls up and nervously swung it up in one big lift praying to god it wouldn't fall off....it didnt :D by this time my heart is goin mental, my previous best codling is only about 2lb off a boat so its smashed it at 4.6lb (the scales are in kg on the pic)
anyhoo heres some pics.
