MrGenius Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) My mate bought himself a downrigger for xmas and has been giving it a work out during his holidays. It was a slow start getting used to using it but we got a few baits taken and one rat on the first go out. Since then he has been heading out every day possible and has done better each time, upping his PB to 95cm. Then last week i get a picture message on my phone with the latest update and a new PB Here it is 130cm and 18kg caught in 30m of water over an offshore reef out of South coast NSW Time on the water definitely pays off Edited January 30, 2011 by MrGenius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
