    1st tanga report

    Hey guys, will make this quick as time is limited. Firstday was interesting, a lateafternoon fish off thejetty saw plenty of hook ups and lost jigheads withthe culprits believed to be yellowtail kingfish and possiblytailor. All Isaw was a biggreenback atone point and a yellow tail at another. Veryfastfish which have so fareluded capture. Second day I tried the same again (runningoutof plasticsfast because of theteeth) and this time managed togetone in right closeafter a short but quick fight. Turned outit wasn't tailor thathad been biting me off but spotted mackeral. I got him right nextto the jetty before the hooks pulled. Havehooked the kingfish afew times since but sofarhe's either dropped the hook or racedstraightunder reachtime. I don't fancy my chnaces on 4lb line. Anyways, sorryfor thecrappy spacing, kiosk keyboards suck. Will keep updatingthroughthe week. Fish outta water (carl) shouldarrive today, here's hopingthe wind dies for both oursakes.
    Cheers,
    Joel

    Good luck with the weather mate, it can only get better...touch wood
    Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. But ,flogging him into submission will result in him taking up crabbing.... and once he gets a taste of that sh*t, well, he may never return again.

    thanx fellas, has been veryeventful since my lastpost. Carl has gotten onto afew spotty mackerel and has seen quite afew kingfish. Have been flatheadfishing afew times, but justcan't seem to hook up to them. On the mostexciting front though has beenthe nightfishing. Wednesday nightafter a few runss on the half pike ihad outon the heavy line I hooked up to a big shovelnose shark. After40 minutes of back and forth we finally had him on thebeach, got a few photos and thenback in thewater. Byfarthe biggestfish I have ever caught and I wouldn't have broughthim in withoutcarl or another mate's help. Last night was the saem scenario again, with a big shark takingoff with my bait and half my line, 30 minutes in though he got his teethinto the main line and it was all over. Last nighttonight, here's hopingwecan land anotherbigone, damn myarms hurt!
