went for a spin session the sarvo throwin the trusty old metal slugs not much around plenty of wind and spray though:(
a mate i was fishing with nailed this great 53cm jack on a slug it gave him a tough fight in amongst the rocks on the 10lbs but a bit of patience and it was on the bank;D
first ive seen on metal but im sure its not so uncomman

re giving away your location ..... I wouldn't worry about it too much. Where you are fishing it would be really hard to reproduce your great catch consistently as its a hard spot to fish. Well done.

Nice catch on metal. How many sessions have you guys put in lately? You boys have way too much time on your hands. Obviously not married, lol.
cheers

hi guys thanks for all the comments ill pass them on
re given the spot away i hate to let you down but that isnt my spot x and i doubt if you could reproduce that catch there

paddy it took prob 10mins plus, as it kept wrapping around the rocks he was using his rackraider stradic 2500 combo 10lbs braid 60 leader the leader was scratched frayed for 3 freet from the lure didnt have long left b4 it snaped it was the best day ive had fishing without catchin anything just awesome being involed landing it;D ;D
andrew i try to get a 1 to 2 hr session in everyday but dnt always get my way its a good wind down from work or wind up (been havn some good morn sessions latley)yeah i am married with kids its hard trying to squeeze in fishin, have to fish to suit the family
