Morgs84 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 G'day Raiders the Girlfriend and i just bought a 5 metre half cabin, took it out for its maiden voyage on sunday just around cronulla, still not heading out very wide untill we get used to the boat we got a feed of flattys , also plenty of undersized ones taking bait , plastics and a greedy little bugger taking a vibe Monday morning me and a mate went out again and picked up some more flattys just off the back of the surf clubs, not as many around as a few weeks ago. my mate also got a good size sargo baker, his only fish of the day and he wasnt real impressed then headed just south of jibbon bommie and threw out a 5 inch nuke chicken jerk shad. as it hit the bottom my 1-3 kilo rod buckled over and the 2000 spool started screaming. as braid started dissapearing i thought i was in trouble, drifting toward where i casted gave me some line back but he still wasnt done yet, 3 more good runs and a good net shot by my mate and the first snapper for the new boat was landed. using 10pnd braid and 10pnd leader also not sure what these ones are? A nice and tasty way to break in the new boat, off to mums tonight to cook up mr snapper for her. Morgs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAITORS Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Congratulations on the nice Snapper perfert size and a great way to christen the new boat. The fish are Maroi Wrase aka Butchers p---- and a common boot. You must have been on some hard reef to catch those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
