Heath Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hit the water at about 5am. Due to the swell building and the run out side the bar was like a washing machine. Some really big pressure waves were breaking making the crossing difficult. Once out the seas were nice and flat. Loaded up on livies, but they were only small My oldman decided he'd try and knock them out by throwing his rod at them, alas that didn't work & we watched the rod sink to the depths never to be seen again. We arrived at out spot and anchored up. Just as we did my mate in the boat next to us, has a screaming run and lands a nice blue. We set out lines and set in for the wait. It wasn't long before my bait on my Tiagra got hit, but missed the hooks...DOH!!! Baits were reset. Had a friendly dolphin swimming round the boat & my son Mitchel was feeding it. Then finally the Ti20 starts screaming. After a good fight, a nice blue of around 15kg was pulled into the boat. The wind had swung around by that stage to the S-SE & we got word that it was blowing 20 -30 at Evans head ( about 50km from us), so we pulled up stumps & headed for home. A good morning. The business end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
