1 under 100

[outta line]

finished instaling the new plotter in the boat late friday nite and wanted to go for a run on sat to see how it worked. Plane was to float around out from the pin and read the manual loading waypoints with some baits in the water . first mark first bait didnt evan get down ....bitten off.... fished there for about 30 min with no luck had a few marks in by then so jigged a few lives and headed north east .. get to 2nd mark get a few under size snaps. 2nd drift same again under size snaps and a trag that made the box.3rd drift was a bit off the mark but found a PP.4th drift put a live yakka down just gets to the bottom then gets smashed line smoking off the reel..... hmmmmm this is gunna end bad and ended with a bust up. 5th drift live bait down and stayed there drop next line down and gets smashed 20m off bottom peeling line heading back to bottom after playing tug of war for a while i see snapper bubbles then i see pink floating to the surface can it be yes it can netted and boated and the happy dance is done funny when your the only one on the boat. Decision was made to keep the old girl as it wasn't well .it weighed 10.3 kg and measured 99cm my new PB . Makes me wonder what reefed me the drift before as it was in the same spot .headed back after that learning and playing with the touch screen carn't wait till the next time to use it....

Outta Line, Man just dance like no one cares...,YEEE HARR.., the 10kg mark busted!! Awesome. It's great that the bigger models are still around. Top trip and nice work with the new techy toy. It's done you justice.

The best thing about solo trips, is what happens on the boat, only you know. YEE HARR!!

I would give up a years worth of catching 4-5 kg models to see a 10kg+ fish spiralling up to the surface.

Can I ask what model of plotter/sounder you bought as mine is starting to play silly games after 20 years of faithful service?

[Salty2]

Are you sure your fish didn't go the 100cm as it appears to have the nose hanging over the end of the measuring board by at least 3cm while the tail is just 1 and a bit short at the other. Might just be an optical illusion but I would believe it if you showed me.

Well done mate gotta love a day out like that.

[outta line]

hi salty2....i got the simrad nss8 they come in 7,8,12 inch screen i chose this one because you can still operate it with push buttons while getting bounced around offshore and has a glass screen so shouldn't scratch that easy
here is a few more pics i did everything to try make it go the 1m apart from jumping on its head
cheers mick
