inhlanzi Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 G'day Raiders The Fish Gods must be with me at the moment. Went in search of the big you know whats again this morning. Had planned to be out all day but got a call from the better half to say she was crook and thus get your butt back home and fetch the kids from school. Caught some nice smallish yakka and set them out as livies. When I put out the big baits I always keep trying to catch more livies. Anyway my livie stick gets hit for six and the mono trace parts at the swivel. That was no livie so I thow out a heavier stick and as I put her in the holder ...bang... hmmm bit bigger than he average tailor and is pulling all over the place. Big silver flash and what the? Yahoooo first hairtail of the season!! Stoked. Tackel: 3/0 ganged and a small bead sinker 8kg mono. Couple more hits but they turned out to be +_35cm tailor. Got a visit from a pod of Dolphins just to make it an ever better day. Time was running out and the livies had not been touched all morning. Clean up the deck and pull all the other rods in. I thought I will leave the livies till last ...you never know...Just as I go to pick up the first big stick rrrrrrtttt on the other one. If there was someone else on the boat I would have thought they were pulling the piss for sure. Ready to grab the second big sick and nothing for about a minute. Pick up the fist one again and wind her in and as the livie reaches the boat the other one heads of again short and sharp rrrrtt rrrrttt. I Think I have totally stuffed it and finish stowing the first rod and off she goes again...bang yup hookup and she starts to run not a big you know what but solid none the less. Out of he dephths appears a 60 to 70cm flattie. Out with the gaf and swing it onto the deck. Pull the pick and rush home... I will try to get some pics to post over the weekend. All the fish still on ice. My mate has my camera at the moment. What an awsome half day!!! Hope all you Raiders have a good weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
