Gday Ausfishes,
For those interested I am home. Tried to include the outcome of a few of the questions I have posed to you lot over the last 12 months in this report regarding cars and cameras etc!!!
Arrived home from Salt Lake City after a 24hr door to door trip (Minus 12 there to 29 here!!). Touched down in Brisneyland at 7am. Cleared customs (with my 6 rods and 6 reels)kissed the wife and kids and said "get me home". Got up to Golden beach kissed my dog (Yes, I kissed my dog!!) and at 9am grabbed my first XXXX since I left 12 months ago. Took the kids down to the end of the street for a swim and then had a meat pie!!!!! (Try going 12 months without one and see how much you enjoy them then!!). Slipped up to the local Mitsubishi dealer and bought a new Triton Ute dual cab
, crossed the road and grabbed a new Holden Barina for the missus and headed home for a few beers and a feed with my mate and his family. Set the alarm for 3:50 am but woke up at 3:30am. (toooo excited). Headed down to the 3 beacons down at Diamond Head and first cast my SP got hit but the 8LB leader broke!!! 12 months in storage and the line integrity is crapola! Will be ditching that stuff. It was dark and it tooks 20 mins to tie another jig head on in the dark! Walked back out and next cast (I kid you not!!!) Bam, another hit, I waited a few seconds and struck (Thanks Mullet Musketeer for the blog with the good advce, the pause before the strike works). Pulled in a nice little flattie around 35cms and let him go thinking at this rate I am gonna bag out in 20 mins
Oh well, great to be home. Will be out there again in the morning!!!
Thanks all for your advice on cars and cameras! Merry Christmas all!!
