yakfishing Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Been strugling lately, both yak and land based, but I finally broke the pattern of dispair. Went down to my spot on the harbour for a quick flick LB. Last half hour of the runout right on dusk, I thought surely I have a half a chance. 4th cast and I finally bag a keeper. A nice 42cm flatty. A few more and I got whacked again, but he shot straight to the surface, thrashed and spat. Got a close to legal a bit later. Got smashed by something very decent, but he didnt hookup. When I got the lure back in close there was a sizeable squid chasing it. I dont think that's what whacked it tho, it was a sharp smack and he stripped a bit of line for the 1 second he was on. Doesnt sound like a squid, but then Ive only ever caught one smaller model. While suffering from last cast syndrome I got hit again, but he dropped. Another cast to the same spot and the silly bugger grabs it again - another close to legal. Anyway, a bit more confident now (with the flattys anyway)

jenno64 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 The squidgy sales will go through the roof Broken drought is always a good thing.
