Well started off with wifey and i wanting to have 4 days on the water at curtain, didn't work that way as usual, we knew the afternoon storms were going to be a problem but couldn't get over yesterday afternoon so decided to fish the bottom reefs around peel for the usual squire etc.
Headed up lazerus's gutter for a camp and thought we would start an early attack for curtain before the wind got up. Got up at 430am and started too head out towards mud too have a quick look before we headed over to curtain.
Birds started going nuts so of course had to get the mighty lures out and have a go. At first i thought knowing my luck it would be a school of catfish but first cast and i was on to something pretty good. After about 20 minutes as i was only fishing light i boated my first ever longtail.
I was over the moon as the boat was covered in blood and of course had wifey going off in the background about the blood in the boat.I was that happy i could have smeared the blood over my face like war paint.
So after the first i thought i want another, and of course i nearly needed a defibulator after the first one as i'm unfit as the come of late. Cut a long story short i ended up getting 3 longtails in the boat in about an hour, which was just as well becase it got pretty rough and was quite uncomfortable.
So i'm as pround as punch to get my first longtails out of the bay and even though the weather was absoulute crap we still enjoyed ourselves.
Fish were caught on 10 gram halco's with a slosh of pink on them on a diawa ondine 3500 reel with a 6 /10 kg shakespear emerald uglystick between peel and green island.
