Well-known member
Well lads i know this is allready in the shore fishing section but i have a couple more photos so ill make a report.

The plan was to set of to king eddies to the right hand side but when we arrived it was still cut off, so we went wandering and Davy (blanked Again) decided on the crawlies.

For the first 3 hours i was getting bite after bite, strong, slack liners with no connections. But then, it just went slack, 20 turns on the handle later and i was caking it... Cracking fight, legs turning to jelly, couldnt bait up after as my hands were shaking. But WOOOOOO! :D

PS, this fish was returned alive safe and well :)

Hehe ;) Its september they can only get fatter from now :D

Let's hope so. If the weather is windy next month when we are down, we might have to try for the elusive cod off the shore. Now that would be worth watching, two total amatuers fishing off the shore with all the wrong gear and Stevie doing his best to help us, in between peeing himself laughing! :red:
 
Well done again on the release mate. Hopefully more where that came from in the coming months.

You were not the only one cacking it, as i was lifting it i kept repeating to myself "dont drop it, dont drop it, dont drop it":eek::eek::eek:

I was a bit groggy eyed at my meeting this morning but it was worth it.
 
What bait did u chuck out? I'm gana have to tag along with u on a couple session this season learn a few marks, get away from ssp and walkway! Lol!
