Beautiful Day Out

[Captain Pugwash]

We missed last weekend's fishing due to a weekend on the Gold Coast so were keen as mustard to get out there today.

Off to Balmoral for what was an annoyingly long wait to stir up some yakkas. Eventually did so and off to the wreck to anchor up and start the berley. Set the liveys out and then proceeded to flick a prwan around.

We then got surrounded by horse sized yakkas and slimeys. Couldn't seem to get a bait down past them to see what else was there.

The day then proceeded a little strangely. Hooking dozens of big yakkas interspersed with the odd bit of other action. A couple of livey's bitten clean in half, a nice big tailor on a strip of slimey, some undersize reds, half a dozen nice trevally, a monster squid and then EVENTUALLY ............................Pay Dirt!

A bottom dwelling livey starts screaming and yes we are ON! I'm always nervous as hell when I hook a Kingy on the bottom cause I know I'm against it straight up. I haven't tried JoCool's trick yet of backing off so it's just clench the teeth and hang on!

After a number of spirited runs I eventually landed a lovely 65cm model which rounded the day out beautifully and made me think " I might do this again this long weekend "

Tight lines fellas
