Harbour Rats

[Moro Mou]

After an unsucessful freshwater session early last week i was keen to get back on the water to try and use my fishing gear for what is was meant for - catching fish.

A mate and i had an early start on Sat and despite nursing a corker of a hangover i was keen to get line wet. I had planned a plastics only session despite reports of good kings being taken on squid. We hit the first marker and on the second cast a few splashes and then bang on. Not sure of its size but after 3 very good runs i was busted off on 30lb!!! We persisted for a little longer and then moved to the next marker, and the next and the next for nothing. Finally on the 5th marker my mate hooked and after a good fight boated a 56cm rat. Shortly afterwards i was on and a smaller 53cm model was boated. They were only little fella's but good fun and it was nice to get my mojo back.

Shame the bigger fish busted you off.

Well done getting amongst a few, seems to be lots of rats and lots of bust offs for everyone at the moment, good to see a few big ones pulled out!

Cheers

How thick are the rats atm?? its crazy. There are definitely some keepers in amongst them though for every 100 you'll get a keeper! all fun on light gear though. Cant complain!
