New Boat - No Luck

[Bar Up]

Well the new Bar Crusher 560 turned up last Friday and decided to go for a run off Botany to see what I could pick up. Stopped off at normal bait grounds and could not even get one livie, off to a terrible start in the new boat.

Cruised out to the first FAD which is a first as I have never had a boat big enough, trolled some skirts past a couple of times with nothing at all, started to drift for a couple of hours and still didn't pick up a thing.

Headed back to the banks and drifted for about 30 minutes and not even a bite.

Decided to head back into the harbour and my father landed the first fish for the boat and the only one for the day. What a shocka.

If only the big ones jumped onto your hook.

Is that photoshopped?

At least you set yourself an achievable bench mark

Best of luck in the future and congratz on the new boat! Sounds heaps good

Good to see an honest fisherman,. Don't worry we have all had days like that. Hopefully not too many. Don;t give up though the one good day you will have soon will blow this into the memory banks.

I need to make a sign for my boat too - the idea i had is to laser cut some grey contact :-) Lucky we have a laser cutter at work. Great for foreign orders!!!

Bar Up and Seagoon, i hope that before you have named the boat, that you performed the proper ceromonies concerned? Bad Karma if you have not done so !
