Well it feels like a thousand years since I've done a report. All i can say is what a way to come back.
Got a call from Custaro bout 12 today seeing if i was keen for a fish. Ah that would be yes so grabbed a rod or two and I find myself at his place within half an hour.
A bit of tinkering with his boat and we were off,had a quick stop at Bias to get a new battery as the old one was showing it's age. Hit the water about 2.30 and proceed to the mouth of the Brizze River where Clay threw the cast net for a few livies. Scored a couple of Whiting and some Silver Biddies. Motored a few meters and dropped the pick.
While I was rigging up Clay lets one of the whiting go over the side. Within the space of 3 mins BANG( I want to hit the Z key but I'll refrain) and a short fight ensues. We didn't know what it was but it looked like something good, and good it was a meter Threadie,, over the side it came. You beauty.
I finally got my rig set up and put over a livie, quietly thinking ok my turn, not to be,, Clay's on again to something good so i wind in to help out, again, only to have the hook pull. Bummer mate.
Tide has turned and i was thinking this is it my last throw of the dice. Over went a Silver Biddie had to wait about 20mins till something got interested in my offering,,, BANG rod goes off and takes some line, crank the drag a little and after a few runs up pops another meter Threadie, my first. What a great feeling to catch such a beast.
All up a short session but very productive. Till next time. Thanks Clay,,, I'm a good deckie just ask me I'll tell ya.
Dave.
