First Catch For Newbie

[MR WHEELS]

Being A Newbie Has Been Hard, Frustating And Annoying But A Bad Day On The Water Is Always Better Than A Good Day At Work I Think. Having Problems Sorting Out The Sounder, The Gps And The Correct Gear And Baits To Use And Were To Go Well I Have Finally Done It And Brought Some Fish Aboard The Boat.
My Son And I Left At Around 4:30am Yesterday Morning For Great Run Up To South Passage, An Easy Crossing And Headed Out Around The 35's. As It Was A Bit Windy, We Just Kept Drifting Over Our Mark And Then, Bang We Had Our First Fish, A Nice Perlie And Then An Good Size Snapper. A Few More Drifts For A Couple More Perlies And We Headed For A Choppy Run Home.

A Personal Thanks For Ausfish Member " Timiboy " Who Kindly Guided Me And Willingly Passed On His Knowledge And Experiences Until I Got It Right. Thankyou Tim !!!!

Ah Mate, that just warms my heart! I'm so pleased for you.

Mr Wheels did this on his own - I gave him one generic mark, and then passed on all the info about how to find fish everyone else has given me. So this is a Victory for Ausfish!!!

That's a ripper Snap. What size? Length, kilos? And what rig got him?

Great stuff, and I look forward to you catching many more.

Cheers,

Tim

very nice fish mate should get better from here on in top effort,

[MR WHEELS]

It's so rewarding after burning so much fuel to land keepers. As I don't eat seafood I gave the snapper to a staff member who rang me last night and said it was such good eating (maybe because it was free) and the gave the others to the oldies. Now I have mates placing thier orders but I have told them to just steady down as it may have been a fluke.

Thanks for the support guys !!!!!!!!!

And Tim, he was just over 80cm, I don't know how heavy he was and a piece of mullet intised him to the hook.

cheers

Mate that's not bad for a first up pb. I reckon you must be a natural!!!

Cheers,

Tim
