the missus put me to shame on gold coast

[geoff72]

good stuff, pay back can be sweet tho,just remind her that. go get those jacks mate, but your missus will probably get one before you.heheheh
well done both of ya.

I can also tell you from experience that will be her rod from now on..... dont worry tho, its worth it to be getting new gear all the time.

As a consolation, remember that it takes a very experienced skipper to be able to put your boater straight onto a few good fish. Unfortunatley, she will expect you to be a top skipper all of the time from now on....

Just dont let het get an ausfish login.

Great fishing and hopefully she is well 'hooked' on it now. My Mrs - God Bless her - dislikes touching fish, bait etc etc etc. However, she does enjoy holding the rod....

Opps - did I say that out loud??

Great catch, good to see the missus enjoys fishing too.

I finished work early and after not been able to go on the weekend due to work commitments I thought bugger it Im goin.
We hit the water about 330pm and headed down to isle of capri bridge.
It has a rocky area and a few creek mouths near it so we thought thatll do.
We were happy casting away when the missus wanted a few tips so I thought yeah of course. As I was guiding her through a few of my ways she said Im on , Im on and I thought hang on , thats my rod! Any way she jagged her first coral trout(I think thats it) and was stoked. It was on a shimano 2500 with 6pound braid and 8pound mono leader and it was on a 3"power minnow berkley in galaxia green. We started to drift near the bridge pilons and I said try to get it at the start of the pilons and drift into the eddy behind the pilon.
Next thing you know again its Im on , Im on. After a lengthy fight in which she done very well the big trevally was landed.
Excitement doesnt cut it , Ive got a fishin buddy for life. Shes already talkin about an electric motor.(woohoo!)
It was caught on a shimano4000 with 14pound braid and 15 pound mono and once again on the same plastic as above , just a heavier jig head.
Here are the photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now that is the bit I do not understand..what the hell does it all mean...why no alvey and chook gut ?
looks like more people duped into the dark side...good effort...but beware the dark side.

Good Fishing to all
