miller Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 hi all headed out sat night for some squid it was very slow going managed 20 in four hours not the best start ! headed for a sleep and something is wrong i forgot the downriggers so after some words that im not going to repeat we grabbed some shut eye i woke part way throw the night and somethig else as missing the hum of the livie tank battery i dead flat with all the squid dead i lay down thinking this is not going to be a good day!!! wake up in the morning and tried every marker in the harbour for pickers headed back into middle harbour to cook some breaky and use the last of the squid as we where anchoring i here a voice calling out it was netic in his mates boat he comes over to have a chat and the kings are on and taking squid on the downriggers and of course no downriggers!!!! so netic takes my mate (damo) that has never caught a king let alone a decent fish for a run an low and behold 65cm king so i pull anchor and anchor up near the spot they keep getting hit damo rejoins me and the first bait in the ater gets smacked damo leans back and is on goes tto reposition the rod and cops the butt of the rod in the family jews slack line king gone so i drop my bait down 2 winds and im on and its desent i play it around the motor than back again then it decides its heading south for the winter a couple of tense moments and it appears i call it for 80cm + and damo has a couple of swipes with net and its in the boat we stay for a little longer for some throw backs and it goes quiet so we pull the pin and head home all in all not bad day even with all the thing that went wrong cheers miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray R Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) G'day mate, you certainly had a run of outs first up but turned out great in the end, good to see other fishraiders lending a hand when all seems lost.. Cheers.. Edited March 29, 2009 by Ray R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
