So after my daughter baging a 70cm snap Friday night the pressure was on my lad to step up
We headed out to the markers and quickly filled the tank with livies, my lad and his mate "both 21" where stoked and where high 5ing each other with every full jig of yakas that come aboardWish Mossy was so easily pleased, nice to see the boys enjoying themselves so early in the day
I knew what i was in for with 2 novice offshore fisho's plan A was grab a quick PB then be skipper come deckie
Straight to spot MPB sorted drift rigged lines ok boys this is how it's done, cast like this let it sink watch it come around and when you hear the drag scream it's a snapper zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzz Just like that my new PB hits the deck 82cm equal biggest snapper on board now so Mossy's ban is lifted
So with plastics and yakas hitting the windscreen, rocket launchers and reef the piss taking started,my young bloke landed a good size trevelly so he had bragging rights for now
My boy tells his mate we need more bait as a 35squire hits the floor, it's onMy boy then hooks the russian sub from hell peeling drag, watching spool shrink we give chase, 15-20min later arms burning it stops & i reckon dived around some reef the boy a little pumped gave it some stick "Crack" there goes a graphite rod
Sorry dad, no worries mate thats fishing, his mate then gets hit on a live yaka and plays it for 20min before getting reefed as well.
Must of replaced 10 leaders today & loved tying every knot it will be all to soon he has a family of his own.
New drift Burley trail lit up yakas darting " Bang" my young bloke is on 10min later he lands a 70cm green Job fish Man cm per KG these things smoke drag.
Shit is flying every direction now with bragging rights well and truly sorted, I noticed a rod tip getting rather nervous and handed it to my young blokes mate and said hang on to this for me will you zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 15min later a 81cm snap hits the floor, I tell you there was more high 5's than a snoop dog concert.
The whole morning was a great success even the show put on by the whales was over shadowed by the fish on board.
Had probably my best day on the water to date hope to do it again.
Cheers'
Dick
