Hey all
went out for some fly casting practice on monday afternoon (which i suck at ) and a bloke came down to where i was casting to have a flick around himself. After chatting for a bit he told me of a spot near my house where he said i should go and have a throw.
So i went out tuesday for a go and got a 25cm big eye trevally on my first throw - i was happy - and also got busted off by something very large and very red !! But i had to work in the afternoon so had to call it quits before i could entice the big red thing back to my hook.
Day off today, so i decided to go back down and have another look, after about 30 minutes or so i hooked up with the beast you see in the photo below went about 55cm roughly (greg i have finally made good with your rod mate!!) several more of these bad boys managed to throw lures and bust me off for an hour or so after i landed this one........
But theres still more ;D - i changed from the hard body lure to soft plastics and within a few throws my large red friend was back - he ran straight for the base of the rocks that i was throwing from and held himself against them till the leader got chewed off - grrrrrr busted off again - SO guys and girls - guess what im doing on my next day off ........
