Yet another weekend spent fishing for squire off victoria point, this time in much nicer conditions than the last few weeks. Chris's mate dave was along for the fish too. I'd bought myself a new reel last week and was keen to give it a go. Diawa Cy 3000 spooled with some super thin sufix 10lb, to go on my shimano rack raider. Thanks to roger for the reel too.
Well it didn't let me down, nice and light, a dream to cast, 6kg drag, very nice!! But the thing that put the biggest smile on my face was the 2kg's of berkley munching squire that it dragged in. At 54.5cms on the lie detector, it's still putting a smile on my dial typing this now. A personal best for me, and it beat the boat record my brother set only a few days previously by 1.5cms 8-) . Big thanks to him for his netting though! Cheers bro! Dave caught the only other keepers for the remainder of the weekend though! He got two 40's and a 36 cm squire on the saturday, plus another 36 on sunday when we went over to Peel. Around the south west rocks sunday morning, I caught a little black tipped reef shark on a plastic.
