It was planned as an evening fishing with our NESA VIP Mark (aka KAYOS).....so we watched the forecast and thought Monday night is calm and has a nice tide. We even organised between us to use 2 boats and wanted to go to a nice wreck....then Mark called off with a sore back....aquired on the rocky ride with Norman aggravated by the caravan life (and lifestyle?!)
Anyway, a few phone calls and we were 5 crazy characters to take on the forecasted monsoon!!
And monsoon it was...awful rain and with it a snotty SE triggered windwave...awful to get out far...but we persevered to beyond 6 miles.
The wreck was barely fishable...fast drift and a very uncomfortable swell....if KAYOS would have joint us I could have admitted him straight to Orthopedic Surgery afterwards.
We all were exhausted and looked like drowned rats....(thanks Eddie for the waterproofs! ) Also thanks Andy (Rutherfords) for mending 3 Fladen Maxximus with broken guards.
Oh aye...the fishing....
few mackies and once the drift gave us a chance we had actually....outstanding fishing.
We managed more than 12 fish between us and Ashok had the best...an 11lb cod
The second best fell to James, a ling of 10 1/2lb
we also had a ling of 9 1/2lb and a few cod of 7-8lb
not bad....we only fished 2 hours!!
The run back in was heary and scary with a lumpy swell in the back....SE wind is awful!!
However...back in and we all were happy we gave it a go
Pete, Eddie, James, Ashok and the biggest fish !
The only missing one was KAYOS!
