    nice fat 85 :thumbup::thumbup:

    After that it goes quiet so we grab a mooring and cook breaky

    drop 2 livies down and commented how you always get hit when

    you're trying to cook or eat and yes both rods go off!

    mine comes up easy, is under sized and thrown back

    the uncle struggling by now and i see that his is a good fish

    he starts to get some line back and pop the rod snaps in half :1yikes:

    what the?! so i yell for him to wind and... just wind!!

    i see colour, grab the gaff and have a shot and miss :1yikes: it circles around

    and this time no missing gaffs in and its in the boat :thumbup:

  2. hi all

    headed out sat night for some squid it was very slow going managed 20 in four

    hours not the best start !

    headed for a sleep and something is wrong i forgot the downriggers :ranting2::ranting2::ranting2:

    so after some words that im not going to repeat we grabbed some shut eye

    i woke part way throw the night and somethig else as missing

    the hum of the livie tank battery i dead flat :ranting2::ranting2:

    with all the squid dead i lay down thinking this is not going to be a good day!!!

    wake up in the morning and tried every marker in the harbour for pickers

    headed back into middle harbour to cook some breaky

    and use the last of the squid

    as we where anchoring i here a voice calling out it was netic in his mates boat

    he comes over to have a chat and the kings are on and taking squid on the downriggers and

    of course no downriggers!!!!

    so netic takes my mate (damo) that has never caught a king let alone a decent fish for a run

    an low and behold 65cm king

    post-2224-1238300524_thumb.jpg

    so i pull anchor and anchor up near the spot they keep getting hit

    damo rejoins me and the first bait in the ater gets smacked damo leans back and is on

    goes tto reposition the rod and cops the butt of the rod in the family jews :1prop:

    slack line king gone

    so i drop my bait down 2 winds and im on and its desent i play it around the motor than back again

    then it decides its heading south for the winter

    a couple of tense moments and it appears i call it for 80cm + and damo has a couple of swipes

    with net and its in the boat :yahoo::yahoo:

    post-2224-1238300991_thumb.jpg

    we stay for a little longer for some throw backs

    and it goes quiet so we pull the pin and head home

    all in all not bad day even with all the thing that went wrong

    cheers

  4. hi all

    went down thr wier for a quick flick

    very quiet had a couple of half hearted hits moved up river

    and second cast bang line starts peeling of the reel and im thinking carp

    wouldnt be the first time that ive hooked a carp on a surface lure

    then it turns and gives up the ghost and starts flaping on the surface

    i slowly bring it in and get a look :1yikes: its a bass and a big bass

    now the knees start to shack i have no net and 10lb trace rocks every where

    and one clump of weed at my feet so i slowly glide the big girl onto the weeds and up the bank

    :yahoo::yahoo::thumbup: i call out to a bloke flicking lures just up from me

    and it turns out to be bluedog a couple of pics on his phone as i didnt take the camera :1wallbash::1wallbash: and watch her swim away

    i measured her up next to my rod and when i got home i measured it

    she was 49cm mabye 50cm my best to date as soon as i can get the pics off my phone ill post them

    cheers
