Budikarn Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) G'day Raiders About two weeks ago we were drifting off the eastern side of Lion Island. The salmon boiled and it was on, about six boats turned up and the lures were flying. I got a good smack on a bronze lure that my father had when I was a kid, now thats a long time ago. My son hooked up using a silver blade, 4lb braid and his new Berkley dropshot rod. Well the rod and reel really did get a good work out. Over half an hour later he boated his salmon.

barker Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Great photos mate and some memories for the family with your dads' heirloom and good times. Can't wait to one day have some similar days with my own kids and some of the old mans gear. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budikarn Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 i thought so, how long have you had it for? im getting the 449 with 50 etec, how does it go? Only had this boat for about six months, its' 3 years old with very few hours showing on the moter meter. The live bait tank works well as long as you don't drop the fish because it's into the drink. There is a bit of spray on board in a chop but on smooth water gets along at 29knots at 5000rpm with two up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
