Cid Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Terry and I launched in to the pre-dawn gloom accompanied by some lazy drizzle that we hoped would disappear. Thankfully it did and Terry and I had a cracker of a morning. First cast and Terry comes up tight on a good tailor and my East Coast popper is smacked all over the surface by a hoard of them but none of them would hook up. Next cast it's chased down again until it's finally nailed and the culprit takes off for the heads. Hmmm, me thinks this is not a tailor and after a 12 minute fight on 6lb braid, I lift in my new PB Kingie from the yak. 79cm's to the tip and I have a grin from ear to ear! Top it all off with a few trevally and bream and it doesn't get much better. cheers, Cid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) Woohoo!! Well done Cid!! Terrific result - congrats on your PB Kingie!! Looks like the tailor was the same size almost!! Love your homemade rod holder extension!! Terrific!! Looks like it is trying to clear up here today (altho it has been raining all morning already!! ) Hope to get out in the yak .... I have been housebound for too long! Cheerio Roberta Edited June 8, 2008 by Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
