Hi All

Spent friday morning fiitting a new sounder to my boat that I purchased from Stu. Got it done by midday and decided to go and give it a test. Headed down the Tweed and first spot I tried we scored an 84cm Flattie and dropped one. We then moved to another spot and pinned a few more smallies with one good one of 67cm thrown in. With dusk approaching we went down to the mouth and found the gts in deep water feeding on the drop off of one of the sand flats. Bennie landed two of the smaller fish we could handle on the 8lb gear but we got blown away by a few that just about emptied the spool before finding some bricks to cut us off. A good evening session with plenty of laughs and action.

Good fishing to you all.

Rod

Hey mate nice work and some great fish.
I fished the mouth there near the boatharbour this morning. We were hoping to get a fewl tailor and only caught a few small bream so it's good to see someone getting in among the fish there.

cheers jono
