Jamiel1000 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I was fishing under the north side of the Figtree bridge last night on the incoming tide using my old favorite EGsx40. I was bringing it in nice and slow and enjoying a few nice hits when it snagged up on a submerged rock close to the rock wall. I waited to see if it would float up but no good so I started to reliase that this one was staying in the drink. I tightened up the drag and proceeded to break the leader loose off the lure and thought "oh well off for some more tackle tomorrow". I looked back at the water and there is the 40 just coming to the surface. Well I thought great the wind will blow that to the base of the wall and I should be able to grab it back, TOPS! Anyway I turned around to put the rod down and when I turner back around to plan my next move "Splash" some big bloody fish smashed it off the surface and that was the last I saw of it. So it was off to the tackle shop today to replace that sx40 with 2 more and some extra sp's just incase. Cheers

Davemmm Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I would laugh except it has happened to me as well. The only thing I had going was the bream that took mine in the Hacking was very small. Dave
Jamiel1000 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 no it was the little 40 not the 48. I have already picked up 2 more and heaps of SP's to replace it.

DaveD Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 That is definately the funniest and most unlucky fishing story. Do we have a fishing report of the month? =p Put it in the record books. That's the one that got away alright. The lure and the fishy. lol
