Moro Mou Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hello Raiders, I had a quick plastics session this evening for no joy so switched to unweighed pillie fillets. Managed a few small bream before coming up solid on the attached. I was only using 4lb fluro leader and must admit thought i had no chance but manged to navigate the plyons and eventually beach her. Interesting though during the fight i polietly asked two people holding a boat whether they had a landing net i could borrow. One of them said yes and the other said no. When i polietly asked again they said it was in the boat and they could not get it. Anyway when i lowered the flatty back into the water after a quick photo and watched it swim off the two unhelpful people looked at me with amazment and couldn't beleive what i had done. Hopefully i will get another chance at the big girl some other day but with a plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebbo Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Well done mate! Very nice flattie, some people are just knobs, let’s hope next time they hook up there is no landing net insight.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moro Mou Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 sounds silly but in the end i was pretty happy i landed it without a net as the degree of difficulty made the capture a little more memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not silly at all mate. Very fine leader ... no net ... landbased ... definitely a capture worth skiting over. Great stuff! Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
