kikila Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 G/day steve I was at the point my self today you must have been bloody close by & saw pretty much what you did, I thought what you had that those kings looked a little ify. We ended up with 1 salmon of 55cm and a long tom also a couple of blurters then went to the 3rd runway for a stack of 24cm bream, tiny snapper & one 40cm flatty and a flounder. Pretty disapointing all up but better luck next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
