Mud Island 15-11-07

[Silent]

This morning’s good forecast and I took my workmate Jeff he’s originally a Kiwi showed him our good aussie snappers at Mud.
Proved him my first 48cm snapper at dawn and another legal both went into esky. He (KIWI) showed me he got a small lizard at top of surface but fell off hook.
My turn! Abu reel screaming and I told KIWI could be big one….set up a movie on a digi camera and filming on rod on a full time bend… my heart rate went high…filming last 3.5 minute and the end result…a bloody big catfish…
If you desire a vid…Just say “please”
Next fish I hooked co-star fish named “Bloat” from ‘Finding Nemo’
When the low tide hit and fishing were totally shut down…

Highlight saw Blufin59 and let you know I waved you
Met ALLEYCAT at ramp and was a good catch up…
What guess KIWI has asked me to go shopping with him to pick right fishing fitout I just made a new member in the dark side…

Yes was good to catch up with you silent, and isnt the bay quite for snaps!, if you had of taken up fishing plastics for snapper last may i would have quit long ago if i didnt know how good it can be, but to be honest its been very quite for 8 months for me now.

[Scalem]

Catching all the bigguns of course!!;) ::) ::) Good vid!!

GAZ066 - this vid would be for you to laugh from the memories;D

SEAHORSE - what sort boat were you on? if you saw a yellow haines hunter there thats me

ALLEYCAT - I think bay's just start better than last few months due water clarity

OTHERS - Thanks for comments and vid would be an advantage view myself on fighting skill, hopeful next vid would a serious snapper::)
