JordanP Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I was heading home from Manly at about 6pm the other Sunday with my gear in the car, I’ve always wanted to try the Spit Bridge so thought I’d give it a bash. The tide was coming in fairly fast, so I thought I’d spin minnows and plastics with the current in the hope of a King, Jew or a Flattie.After an hour on the hard bodies I changed to the plastics. This girl jumped on after about 10 casts, I thought I had a Jewie, this thing ran hard and was tearing 6lb braid off my reel at a rapid rate. After a couple more run I had her at my feet, she made me very nervous darting around the rocks, although eventually I led her up the beach. I grabbed my phone, jumped onto the Fishraidier website to see what the catch of the month item was – Paper!? I don’t have any paper, sh*t! With the fish out of the water I was getting anxious, I wanted a clean release. Rummaging through my bag with absolutely no paper it covered to me my bus pass was made from paper, brilliant! After a few quick snaps I released the big girl to swim again. When I was re rigging I noticed that my braid had snapped, very thankful that I got her on the beach when I did!
