brendong Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Headed down the south coast with the family for the weekend in the hope of getting out for a fish or two.... Snuck out late on the Friday afternoon after hearing the Tailor and Sambo's had made their way into the estury. Put down the divers and it wasn't too long before one of the rods went off so I handed it straight to Melissa and after about 5 mins of heart in mouth action up came a PB 65cm sambo which she was stoked with.... Put the divers back down and continued up the river before both rods went screaming up the river....I dropped mine just as saw a cracking tailor mean while Kyle was strapped to a horse tailor that he chased all over the boat which I managed to capture on vid (will try and attach later)....netted a beast that went 71cm as he notched up a new PB. Watch Kyle's Video here Back down again and another double hook up and my 2500 Fireblood was singing a happy tune whilst I hung on....meanwhile Jayden in his first fish since the recent dog attack was strapped into a monster from the deep that turned out to be the best we saw all weekend and it was soooo fat....it went 72cm just to nudge out his big brother and didn't he give it too him.... welldone JayJay great to see you back on the water little man.... I did manage to chime in with a 65 cm tailor of my own but was clearly put to shame the little blokes.... So with all the team getting on the board in a big way, we headed in after it went a little quiet with grins all round, strecthed arms but by far and away the best family fishing sesh we've ever had with all fish returned to fight on. The following two days were a little tougher on the troll so we deployed the tried and true soft plastic tactics. Kyle chose his plastic based on an earlier trip to Tuross where Hodgey pulled out a 5' jerk shad in blue neon. He clearly worked it to perfection and came up tight on a massive croc in the shallows and played it to perfection with a handful of scorching runs before we managed to slip her into the net...yet another PB for him as it went 83cm and now he's got too PB's over his old man...grrrrrr...couple of photo's and back she went to chase at christmas time... So that was the end of the fishing sessions and wow you couldn't wipe the smiles off our dials.... Edited June 15, 2010 by Poddy Trapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
