Friday i get the call to head over to Mud with Mossy, do i go or do i stay home and install all the new electrics in the boat as originally planned.... Go fishing the boat isn't going anywhere. Met Mossy at Whyte Island 5:30 we head off straight over to mud, a cool drive over and im starting to miss the windscreen on my boat, but beggers cant be choosers, lines out and my first squire for the day 35cm back she goes as its to early in the morning for desperate measures another couple of casts and mossy gets his 35cm model, back she goes things are starting to look good. how wrong we were i think 1 more squire hits the deck all day, however mossy scores a E/cod 50+ in the esky for dinner, another zzzz goes mossy with a flattie 50+... Damn plastics arnt worth a crap. i then boat nothing for a couple of hours flicking, flicking ,flicking. Dont give up hope Mossy says everyone gets a prize..... And what a prize i got..... 3kg braid with 3.5kg leader. tap tap tap what have we here, after a 20min fight and a marathon around the boat a 89cm Cobia is boated. my first cobia and a first for mossy's boat...
(had to head home straight away as Mossy is a plastic's fisherman and didn't have a esky big enough, not used to catching such large fish on plastics i guess) oh and it took a bait fisho to show him how its done...
thanks for an awesome morning and get a bigger esky
