Piss'n'Broke Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 The other week whilst gathering squid in Sydney Harbour, myself an my brother witnessed what we thought was a better than average jew strike on another boat. We had just set our jiggs for some squid an we noticed another boat at anchor an the guy on board asleep with a beer sitting on his console At exactly 3.42am we saw ie bend in the rod, an heard drag constantly but slowly stripping line off this guys reel, whilst he sleep all thorughout it. I wanted to wake this guy, as I thought he was onto a definate thing,,, whatever it may be,,, my brother thought it better to leave him asleep, at first light we we saw this guy wake up an pull all lines in,,,,, What would you do? I know Id be very annoyed at being woken up, but to miss a jew,,,,,, anyhow what would YOU do? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss'n'Broke Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 thats hillarious, i suppose what he doesnt know cant hurt him eh??? i personally wouldnt wake him, not my problem and id rather save my energy for fishing over yelling and if he was sleeping on the job, then he obviously wasnt too fussed CFD Well said!

Dalucius Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Maybe you should have woken him. He might have carked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IFishSick. Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Personally I would leave him and send down a live squid of my own and wait for it to come back. More Jew for me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpinta Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I think i might have gone over .hooked and landed his fish,kept it and cast his rod out again. I used to often sleep on my o/night trips but i used to hear even one click of my ratchet. Id say he was that drunk that you probably could have raided his boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
