Monduran - Kyle's 87 Saves Our Bacon!

[Steve B]

Nice work boys....well Kyle anyway!!

Great fish young fella...oh I spose it was good boating leadership too Pete

well done again, see you in a couple of weeks

Cheers Steve

Don't dismiss the R2Sea triho's...a great lure I reckon. When you think how well these fish bend steel hooks, its no wonder a lure gets crunched into bits from time to time. If its gonna happen....hope its the R2sea and not the X-raps you usually throw Pete. that would be a painful hip pocket experience!
Cheers Roo.

The trihos only cost me $7 each from Foxies, Roo....one was broken by the barra, the second developed a leak and is now useless and the third is still in operation.

They are very similar in size, dimension and action to bombers and come in a similar range of colours. I have now replaced the two casualties with bombers....

Xraps still rule though.....

Small price to pay for a fish hey pete!! Ol FLappsy cost me $5 a pop for a fish, but they were well worth it...I have since found a recyle way for them...glue a shadolshus, hollow or storm tail to them and you have a new lure!!

cheers Steve

A broken Xrap (I have a couple too) is a bit more Xpensive!!!

[Peter4]

To be honest Steve I would happily sacrifice an Xrap for a big barra like Homer. Unfortunately when I hooked Homer's mother back in April, she wanted the Xrap more...I'm still looking for a re-match!!

Interesting thought though. I reckon Kyle's 87 cost us around $500 (fuel, accommodation, food and fishing gear etc) and I shudder to think what the average cost of each barra is.....

Perhaps $23 bucks or so for an Xrap is not so bad after all?......

Pete you brought up a really good point about barra fishing ......... You can spend several hundred dollars on a trip - fuel , accom , etc - So you really want to give yourself the best chance of landing a barra ........ so if it means using a $5 placcy or $23 X Rap ....... then its money well spent I reckon
( my gold X rap landed me 2 fish last weekend before it went to a barras pool room )

Ah, No1 son saves the day.........again..........well done Kyle. Great report Pete, looking forward to catching up at the Muster boys.

What's with the capachino cup sittin' on the back court there Pete, bloody yuppy

Pete.

I likes me mornin' cuppa.....

I suspect that was on of those makashino toefoo latte cream jobbies.
He new what Chartuese was you know

Well done guys for your perserverance and getting a fish into the boat. Its always a big surprise and interesting part of the learning curve to get fish on lures that you don't often expect much from - Richard

R2C good value, they have owners on you know .
Good buyin at Jackys if they have any left. I cleaned out the bargain bin
Bloody place should be called the crab pot, its hard to get away once your in there

The Barra still wreck them hey Chris .

You would have been impressed after spending 20 minutes in the dark that night (dark as the inside of a cow) tying a bloody allbright that held the day after the following day I did several getting one to hold (did I mention a bit of bad news about the glasses? Neve mind ) finally satisfied with the knot I pelted the lure straight into a tree a smashed it . But it had owners on it, out of the box @#^%@^!!!! Lucky it wasn't rated X .

It was a good few days for me, a few good encounters, very few . But it was good to meet Elliot Goblet, AM and Kath and Kym.
I am not real good with names. Hey MAATE
