Pb Trev At Long Reef

[Wigg]

Woke up this morning but I couldnt hear any wind.

I layed there for a while.

Nope definately no wind, so I went downstairs jumped on the net and checked a few sites and a few cams.

Maybe the weather man got it wrong, I thought it was supposed to be windy this morning.

What the hell I thought I will hit Longy.

Got there and it didnt look too bad.

Small swell but a bit of chop.

I thought I am here now may as well go out.

I packed light, 3 rods and a couple of packets of plastics.

Trolled out into an increasing noreaster.

No surface action at all.

Just as I was getting to my first spot the 8lb out fit screams under protest zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

By the time I turned around and picked up the rod the pink mono backing was showing in parts.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Before I new it the backing was heading out thru the guides and TWANG.

Gone. Bugger.

Retied another pre made kit on and off again.

This time I must have let too much line out so the next hit I didnt even get the rod out of the holder.

TWANG. Gone again.

Spent the next half hour setting myself in the right position to drift the best line across my spot.

Next hit was on the new Nitro with 15lb.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

Yeah baby into a good fish.

As I was admiring the nice working curve in the new Nitro TWANG.

Bugger reefed again.

Now I am dirty, 3 plastics with new heads gone in a flash.

Re rigged agian and trolled around for about an hour while watching a pro pull in a few undersized kings.

By 8am the wind was slowwing right down and conditions were very nice.

Over the next 2 hours I boated 5 undersize kings between 55 and 63.

Had a bit of fun.

I have to say the kings at Longy pull harder than what I have seen at Clovelly.

Just before I was ready to head in another pro pulls up and sets his lines.

I get a good hit hit and call it for another rat.

But this time to ny surprise I boat a 56cm Trev.

A new PB.

The pro gives me the thumbs up and we have a bit of a chat.

Headed in but no more hits on the way home.

All in all a fun little morning.

Cheers Wigg

Sounds like a great time, even though the kings were undersized.

Nice trevor, and they fight well for their size and are tasty to boot.

At least the lost rigs were on good fish.

I lost count of how many rigs we lost to leatherjackets on the weekend, even a knife jig.

They are pests.

Cheers
