Knocked off early today and went for a solo run over to macleay is. Wanted to get into a few more fish on the surface but conregated weed made it hard.
The ecogear ck40 got a fair work out today bashing rocks and coral and came up with a few average bream and some stubbon cod that wraped me around everything they could find. Surprised how good the 4lb leader held with fish attached and running me under bommies and getting them out again. One cod took me about 5 mins to land after untangling my line from half the reef he ran me around.
I also had a first for me today, wobbygong on a hard body. I got a solid hit and felt heaps of wieght but it fought like a wet sheet. Bit dissapointing for the size of him. he didnt even take any drag from the gek loaded with 3lb crystal.
Again all the fish were takin in 1-2ft of water and i took some pics of some of the territory today. Good fun on light gear with fish trying to punish you staight into every hidy hole they can find.
Cheers Whytey
