iMick Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Got a cracker Yella today, fishing with my good mate Che. 59cm and heavy. Lost what could have been a Cod of a life time. Flicking a TN50 around with my new Certate 1003 and Daiwa 1-3kg Spellbinder, and got smashed like nothing before, freight train hit, and then what feels like a bricking.... then it moved, shook it's head, and rasped through my 6lb leader.... oh it burns deep. Still not over it. Would have to be a big cod. Caught tonnes of Yellowbelly, and this was like no other. Very slow day for us over all 5-6 good hit, 2 fish in the boat, and lost a cracker.

Hodgey Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Good to see you out on the water again Mick. 2 bloody nice yellas there, although they are a token consolation prize after dropping a big green fish He'll be there for you next mate!

paul.kenny Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Great yellas there Mick, nice and fat fish. I caught a similar sized yella at Lake St Clair last month on a TN50......love the way they shake their head. I feel for you losing the green fish and the TN50. PS do you still have your Stessco Basstracker? Cheer Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Nice work, Mick. Shame about the cod but they're a couple of great fish in the pics. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Hodgey Thanks mate, it's been a month off the water, and feels great to get back out there. Windy, for us, is a tough nut to crack. We've been there a number of times and never really had a hot session. We assummed that if in Oct/Nov the yellas are in the shallows then maybe in Feb they've gone deep, and it's worked, both fish caught sitting on the bottom, in 40-50' of water next to an under water tree.

Still have my Basstracker mate, and still love it as much as day one, I'd only ever sell it to buy something like GregLs' Contenter, but that's a while off. Do you still have yours?

Thanks mate, it was my PB yellow. Mick, I stil have my Basstracker and love it. I have dragged it north to the Barra impoundments three times and into the Hunter Bass dams half a dozen times.......certainly has been value for money. I would only sell it for a glass bass boat but that is years away. Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheder Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 there is no over exaggeration when mick tells you he lost a big fish, it was like a massive hit, i thought he got snagged, my guess is it was a green fish that didnt know it was hooked until mick gave it some curry, big and heavy.. shame he wasnt using heavier gear, would have been nice to see the fish.. Windy is a dam of a thousand casts, i think the reason why we had a few missed hook ups is because you have done 500 cast before it and dont expect a hit catching you off guard.. big yellas there though, bigger than the juck too and golden to boot.
