HAha ok this is a pretty dodgy report but anyway i was stoked so im posting it. Was at a mates house on the Brizzy River last night doing a uni maths assignment. And being on the river i was sorta itching to go fishing. So after searching all through my mates shed i finally found this sh!ttiest and oldest little rod with a dodgy little alvey on it with about 40 metres of line. It also had a sinker but no hooks... and they didnt ave a tackle box. But i was still determined so i whipped out an old safety pin. bent it so it somehwat resemble a hook. Tied it on and off i went with bread as bait. First cast and WHAMMO....ZZZZ only to have my hook... i mean pin.... straightened. So i rebent it and decided this time id jsut let the bugger run and try to put as little pressure as possible on it. So a few minutes later i was on against and took me like 5 mins but after an epic battle where i was afriad to even touch the reel for fear of straightening the pin again i finally landed a 20cm catty. ok haha not much of a fish but still... on a safety pin..... i was going syco. Legged it up and got my mates and they were jsut pissing themselves so i went back down and all of a sudden i was on again. Took my time again and another catty slightly bigger came in. The tide turned and as i only had a tiny sinker i was struggling but kept at it and finally had another hook up. This fish felt fairly solid and after a few big runs which jsut about spooled me and and a couple of hairy moments around the pontoon (its tough keeping a fish out of the snags when u cant put any pressure on it) i finally landed a catty of about 35 cm. I WAS GOING SYCO!!!! Anyway I'll stop there before you all get on here and pay me out about doing a report on catfish... but hey they are better than nothing!!!!!
Cheers

Yep for sure, don't think there's much of a challenge there m8, unless you wanna fish with bent safety pins and bread!
