PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 Saturday Mud Island report
Finally got out for a fish at Mud on Saturday morning. Took my old man out for a fish. Great conditions greeted us as we left Whyte Island for the run out through the river. I planned to fish plastics while the old man insisted on using his favourite bait. I stirred him on the way out about whether his taped up rod and old no drag alvey would be up to the challenge.
Sure enough first drift line peels off the old alvey in a hurry with the old man struggling to hold on. Half the spool disappears in a very short time and his "place the hand on the spool drag system" is struggling to slow down the freight train. After a few tense minutes we boat a nice 58cm snapper - a PB for the old man.
I managed a smaller keeper squire on a 4 inch gulp and numerous just unders. A nice flathead again by the old man ends a good morning.
Here are a few pics of the catch. The old man was a bit camera shy so I posed with his fish!!
Thanks for replies. The old man was very impressed with his catch and will be talking about it for a while.
Mickstar - we fished the south-west corner of mud drifting in amongst the multitude of anchored boats.
