Knew it was going to be a scorcher. So I hit the beach early to grab some weed for a quick arvo session.
I thought I should get a bit extra for Seamus and Gianni just in case.
7.30 start work in the garden, and start sweating. 9.30 a pm from Gianni, weed?
12 noon mercury hits 35c that's it, quitting time, dropped the weed off at Gianni's, chat with his mum, and she gave me a much appreciated ice block.
1pm at the spot, berley berley, fish on 32cm. Another drift, fish 32 again, then 3 barely legal that went back.
Things went quiet, then I realised my float stopper had moved. Reset to the depth and back at it.
Got a good down, a and pulled up tight on a solid fish, I thought could be a PB or dare I say record..
I called out to the other guy fishing, and he came and netted it
It only went 37, so there is a bit of work to do. Funny how they shrink, before you get them on the mat.
Then I busted off, it was a big fish, but I had to call time. I gave the keepers to Allen, the net man.
