hi all,
been busy back at mud after pbing with an 83cm 2 weeks ago. i took a friend there last sunday afternoon. left whyte island at 2.30 and anchored at same spot as previous at 4. old mate caught his first snap at about 5 - it went 78 cm. he was stoked as you would be. around top of the tide he bagged another - 78 cm again. i was getting a bit toey having landed only a wobby and a cat shark. must be mine soon i think. 4.30 in the morn and old mate lands an 83 - new pb for him. now i am really getting p$###$d (and it wasn't the club port). half hour later an 84 joins the box!!!!! and just to rub it right in another half hour later saw a 74 hit the box. he beat his pb twice in one night. by now i was thinking i must have run over a chinaman on the way. i mean how bad can your luck be? the box was as full as it has ever been and food had to come out to make the required room. 8 in the morning saw me land my first legal for the trip - a diver whiting on a 5" plastic!!!! the whole session i had 2 lines out to his 1. using the same baits and same breaking strain. he even baited one up for me in case i had bad smelling hands. i couldn't get a touch. never had such a frustrating trip in my life. am i alone in this or have others experienced these huge differences in results from the same boat? felt like putting the thing on ebay and taking up knitting (hell of a lot warmer). being a good bloke old mate sent me home with 2 sympathy fish as reward for his best ever fishing trip - being a good bloke myself, i took the 2 smallest - only 9kg of fish - hard to complain i suppose. need to get a longer esky - hate bending big fish. heading back thursday arvo (minus old mate). if you see me, come say gidday.
