Robofish Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Conditions look great, I have got half a slimy out on Newport Beach right now and am just waiting for that first big beach Jew (again). I have lots of nights of by-catches but just keep coming back for more. It would be a great way to round Fathers Day off....

mimyo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Good luck champ! That would be the ultimate way to round up fathers day... All the best, hope you slide a Jew up the beach tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robofish Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 It wasnt to be......... The highlight of the night was hooking something that I just couldn't do anything with - it didn't tear off but just took line at will. I have around 450m of 12kg line on my Alvey and I gradually eased up the drag during the fight but it made no difference. When I could start to see the spool I cranked the drag up even more and end up with the line parting. I'm calling it for a big ray, not fast enough for a Noah. Next time Jewie!

mimyo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Bad luck Dave, Sounds like a mother of a ray to me as well. What time did you pull up stumps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robofish Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 We wrapped up just about top of the tide 2130ish I got carried away with the sunny day and was only in my boardies and a t-shirt so went home to thaw out. I can't wait to have another crack. See you out there Dave Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
