Boog's Boat Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hi every one, Headed out chasing Salmon today with my Son Levi ("Boogie") and two mates. Tried for some Livies just in case the Salmon didn't play ball but only managed to get sweep they were ravenous not letting the Yakka's get to the baits. So We headed straight to Big Box where we started our session last week and things were looking slow. Then they started to boil 5 metres from the boat (sometimes you get lucky)so I lobbed out a little white bait metal for my son, two winds and he was on. It was Hillarious poor little bugger didn't know what to do it just kept running, with a little coaching and a few acrobatic aerial leaps and a fairly long drift we had it boat side and in the net. He was Wrapped!!!! Now that we had his fish out of the way he was delegated to net duty for the bigger boys. Timmmmmmeeeeee had never caught a salmon so he grabbed a soft plastic and set about changing his fortune only to end up catching a Yakka while we were getting the salmon. It was quickly dispatched as a live bait and left to its own devices. He never got the hook up he was after but we handed the rod over once some were hooked he had a ball. They were quite spooky today compared to last week and were sitting around 5 to 10 metres down. Ended up landing about 20 all of which were released to fight another day (Son's Choice as he was "Net Boy"). Will have another crack next weekend hoping to get back to the same number as last week which was around 40 lost count after 15 all.

Boog's Boat Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Problem is Ray he is 1/4 Maori and his Koro (grandfather) loves them. So I let the young fella explain to him why they all went back. Was Quite an interesting conversation to say the least. Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
