Well you should be getting the drift of things now, Cheech gave me a call Friday night and said he a small window of opportunity Sat night , depart White Island at 3pm and last baits at 6:30pm sharp . This is a bit unusual for us as we would normally fish till late but I was not going to say no, and as chance had it Snorky (soon to ausfish member) was available for the trip. Snork had seen the results from the last mission and was keen to have a go as he was and I say was a bay snapper virgin.
So the usual goes, get to our spot with 587,965 other boats all hanging around but we got in a good position and started the procedure for acquiring some scales. Started slow and as all the secrete ingredients started to gel it wasn’t long before we had a fantastic bite session.
We all got amongst the squire been 36cm -45cm, and it was fast and furious, few good fish where lost to bust offs , most probably snapper and we had a lot of boats driving thru, over and around our drift line, > >which did not help and brought some colorful language from those catching the fish.
As closing time approached it wasn’t hard to go as we had nearly bagged out, had a great feed and was home by 7:30pm with a great tale of the one that made it in the eski which went a bit like this….
Bloody hell Chong will you stop catching all this fish..
Cheech can you make yours 1/2cm longer
The Snork’s line goes ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and a bit more
The calls where made, fish of a lifetime, shark, ray, jew
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Play it easy, you got plenty of time
Lift wind
DON’T TOUCH THAT DRAG
Lost all my braid on to backing
Don’t panic
Fish of lifetime
AHHH got the braid back
It’s not doing much, vermin
Getting closer
Got some colour………
Its ahhh, SILVER AND PINK!!!!
Get the net (which I already had)
Get it in, take your time, don’t touch the drag…
And finally it’s in the net and on board
YOU BLOODY BEUTY
5kg, 72cm Bay Snapper
Well done Snorky
Drinks all round.
That’s it for other fantastic episode of Cheech's Charters, till next time
Cheech, Chong and the Snork
Pics to come
first one, Captain and first Mate getting all the right bits done...
Bloody heck fellas,
bloody showoffs
fancy leaving without reaching the bag limit - that's a bit slack ?
but i am a greedy bast#@d
poor little breamy......
but seriously,
what a great haul boys - sounds like ewes had a ball,
and winter hasn't even started yet
good story chong
l.o.l.
Nice catch and gee that big buggar is a top fish .Well done fellas, hey with names like cheech and chong I thought your mates name would be Snort not snork
Of course I put Snorkys catch down to the great tutoring he received.
And to those couple of boats that continued to motor up through all the other boats at anchour and drift plastics, 100m drift and motor straight back up through the boats and drift 100m, the motor straight back,,,, you get the idea. Thanks for bloody nothing. I don't mind drifters through anchourd boats, but to then motor back over where everyone is fishing is just plain wrong. One of them was that close that they nearly ran over snorkys line when he had the snapper on. (can you tell that I was not very impressed??). Next time have the courtesy to motor around rather than through please.
