The Horrible Truth....
After a long time, trying to get on the water with Netmaker, it finally happened.So we arranged to meet at the Wello ramp at 5am Sat morn, at 4ish am I get a msge from Davo saying he shit the bed so will be at the ramp around 4:30 and I guess that's when it all went wrong. We headed straight to Mud, Placcies only, coupla cast Davo boated a small squire then dropped a 50ish Flatty boatside, more small fish were the order of the day, some Mac tuna swam past so armed with a 2500 shimano I launch my 4inch squidgy wriggler at them and loaded up as soon as it hit the water it spat me when it felt the resistance, before I could think another set of solid Mac shoulders breached the surface and wham I'm loaded up again, but a minute later placcie was spat out again, not that I thought I had a chance, but it was another lost opportunity, we moved around, tried different spots more of the same, Davo told me to deadstick my 4000 shimano out the back and a short time later it was seriously loaded up and the 10kg mono was disappearing fast Davo took the smaller rod off me as I was on with it as well, I took the full weight of the freight train and then a bullet sound and a small cut to my hand and I was standing there with an empty 4000 sized reel, shattered..We caught up with Mossy and luccee, Mossy made me feel better with a chocolate wagon wheel, thanks bud..Nice to finally meet you mate. Oh yeah! and thanks luccee for comming over and rubbing that nice cobia in our face...
... But this whole time I was hanging onto a secrete
.
The day ended just like that, small fish and missed opportunities, it wasn't until I got home that I sent Davo a msge telling him ""The Horrible Truth"" that I had committed a boating crime, as in my fishing bag I found a BANANA, YES THAT'S RIGHT, I had meant to eat it at the ramp whilst waiting for Davo but he was running early so its his fault...Cheers for a great day Davo cant wait to do it again, however I might suggest a bag search..lol
Bingo

. Awesome to catch up again. We never did see the tuna all we got was a lonely dolphin slowing the fishing up.
i reckon if it takes near a year to click on "the trip" i would have given up bananas at least the week before let alone planning to eat one at the ramp
. i can only say that i was chuffed as to bag a 78 this morn minus the banana bearer
