jlloyd Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Nice drummer, always love hauling fish up onto rock ledges (or wharves/jetties) almost as heart stopping as fighting the fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennmreid Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well done on catching a beauty of a drummer. Thats an awesome drummer. I bet he went hard. Heart in the mouth stuff when the fish is lighly hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King slayer Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Stonker Drummer mate! My mate loves the cooked prawn baits too. I thought he was mad until he pulled a great drummer up in front of me after 5 mins! They're strong fighters, dirty too. I plan to get into a few over winter.

Luke K Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hi Peter, That's a nice drummer, must be a couple of kilos there. How good has the black fishing been hey? I 've also caught my fair share over the past couple of weeks. Have you been getting them in the lake or off the stones? Can't wait to get back down to the lake should be firing up now. Hope to see you down there soon. Cheers Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
