South Head/ Cliffton Gardens

[Brad Duffell]

Gday all,

Havent posted in ages and i went for a fish today so i thought i might as well so here goes,

Started out with hopes of chasing the dollies but they faded when we got through the heads and despite calm`conditions the sea was very choppy. So we decied to drift the south head and we picked up a few keeper flatties. The wind started to pick up an so did they rain and we werent up for sittin in the cold rainy crap for a few flatties, so we headed back in with a stop at cliffton gardens. We burleyed up and threw some squid out wih faint hopes of a king. Nothing happened for ages so we decided to pack up but just as we were starting to pack up we heard that wonderful scream of the reel goin off its nut as a kingie blasted the squid nd took off. As paul ( my mates dad) fought the damn thing it went dead so he wound in and got it really close we wouldnt have just aout seen it but it saw us first and went nah F*%$ that and took off again resulting in a bust off. The most annoying bit about it is of the four rods we had in the water, the king happend to take the lightest rod with the crappyest reel

Anyway shit happenes i spose, Have a good one,

Brad
