fished the new rock wall at the mouth of the brissie early but couldnt pull a scale decided to head over to mud. great decision. pulling up to cast some light sp's when a lrg boil on the surface mtrs away had me grabbing at my 20lbd bait caster and about 2 seconds had a sp landing right on the mark a tuna about a mtr takes my lure as it hits the water and im on!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.
we were in 5 mtrs of water, under geared i think and my deckie was a first timer :-/, and my reel was screaming off line way to fast, time to chase ;D after neally going over as the excitment and inexperiance at driving a boat for the first timmer we chaed for about 2mins not going very far from intial hit we drifted in and motored out to deeper water when posible. fight lasted just over an hour and without a net big enough and no gaff was a bit worrid the fish wasnt quite tired enough for us 2 beginers to have a crack at it but was thinking of all sorts of ways of doing it when one last run saw the fish slowly swim away >:( >:( >:( caught most of the fight on film and still makes me want to cry. still great fight and got to see the fish.
9oclock arm aching hands shaking i required my first refreshing beverage and thought what next?
cruised around the s/w cnr and driffted in to as shallow as possible and success a 43 cm flattie, a first for my mate on sps. first time out!!!! >:( second drift just hang up the phone and a double hook up 2 squire 29cm for my mate and 32 cm for me my first on sp ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D slightly happy, need a drink ;) back in to it and it was the same again. did this for about 3hrs and got 11 all different sizes all fat but no keeper. still stoked with the day decide to head home but cant go past the rock wall without a cast and 15mins in wham on my 2 kilo rod a 35cm squire ;D ;D
