Went out with Derek (Dezzer) this morning for a quick run around the Scarborough Reef system. We were out there around 6:20am and the first cast got slammed straight away. Unfortunately it dropped it, and then this one (pic) came aboard... There were a few dropped big fish, a few dropped small fish, a couple of smaller squire caught (some released, some kept) and a bream (25cm to fork). Plus a couple of pike that molested the plastics!!! ::)

All fish caught on plastics. The plastic that did the damage was the Salt Water Assassin in Baby Bass colour. There was also Derek's "secret colour", but I'll leave that to him to decide if he wants to disclose...



Thanks again for the trip Derek, and for sure I'm keen to go again for a busy morning!!! ;D Drive home was uneventful, and I'm off to bed to get the sleep I missed last night...

Cheers,
Dan

P.S - Squire in pic went 58cm.

Sorry Dan, wish I'd sorted that out with you earlier, we'll have to do that bbq/whisky some time soon though, sounds like a winner. :)

Hey Dan,

Did you get the squire on the Sedona (got one of these for my birthday last week, and haven't used it yet) and the new Bass Hard PE Braid?

Good luck,
Mike

No on the Sienna 2500... The Sedona was in the bag, but I didn't really want to go using $80 braid around the reefs.... I am going to spool the spare spool of the Sedona with some cheaper lighter braid though (Maybe 4or 6lb Fireline or Platypus Super braid) so I can use it...
