It has been a year or so since I had been for a fish - work, family & more work make fishing less of a priority but the itch for a fish came back and was determined to get out even for a couple of hours.....so Thursday was the day....
I wanted to stay close to Reddy Bay just in case something happened to the boat but it went like a dream.....
First drift over my mark - literally within 2 mins - my dead stick goes off.....1 second later the rod in my hand goes off - line zipping of on both - shit but awesome....I decided to work the rod I had in my hand......up comes 50ish snap....the other rod went dead but I wind it in and to my surprise its still on .....another 50ish snap - in one drift two fish - sweet....
I then did about another 15 drifts over the same patch and there was only two drifts were I didn't catch a snap.....I ended up with my bag of 4 ranging from 45 - 50ish....
I was shocked at the continual action and the continual throwing back of good size fish.....back at the ramp within two hours.....the itch is definetly back....
The plastic that did the most damage was 4inch gulp minnow in watermelon....
