Bigfoot Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 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.

Bigfoot Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 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. Kamil 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 Bigfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
