Big Sth Coast Gummy

[Bigfoot]

Hi all,

Here's a pic of a mate of mine with a gummy he Landed on a Sth coast Beach Late one night

not too long ago.

My mate is 6ft+ and the Gummy, She wasn't too far off him.

She seemed heavily Pregnant, so we were happy to see her swim away after a few quick shots.

Very pretty fish, awesome to have let her go too.

Any more info on the catch? Like bait and rig, trace and line class? Just generally interested.

Hi Kamil,

I hope this helps:

Alvey 650 filled to the brim with 15lb mono, mounted on a 12ft schiderglas

surf rod, rigged with a med size ball lead swiveled above and below to a 50cm

30lb mono leader with a single 2/0 bait holder enhanced with a suculent and juicy

but most importantly FRESH Mullet fillet.

We had 3 other lighter Rods with us that night, all were smashed several times

by big, seemingly unstopable, freight train like fish. Even the rig that landed

Ms Mummy Gummy got busted off NO LESS THAN 5 TIMES before finally beaching her.

The best thing was, when we landed her there was only one hook in her mouth,

so proving we had been taken for a ride by many a different bruiser that night.

There is a reef within casting disance and this isn't the first time we've fished this

perticular stretch of sand and must admit bust offs have been plentiful in the past,

HOWERVER, she wasn't the first landed there, nor for that matter is she the biggest

either.

Good Luck

Cheers
