thefisherman6784 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 G' day raiders Today I met Adam down at the canal for another flattie fish and joined by Seamus a bit later Adam got there way before me and got lots of hits but nothing We moved around the bay to UTS but nothing so we went to the other canal. After a few casts I was onto a nice flattie. Bought it to the bank and then snap, it was off. A nice approx. 45cm one to. Anyway, moved on and then Adam hooked a nice flattie of about 40m and lost it to at the bank We then then joined by Seamus and the next event wasn't personally my favourite of the day. Adam stuffed up his cast and the lure came half off the jig head and it was low tide and he got a tangle so I decided to step down and fix up his lure. I then slip... With my rod in my hand Yesterday I stacked it and damaged my reel an said I would of rather got hurt than my reel and that's what happened. As I tripped, I cut my hand badly, got so dirty with all the mud and knocked my head pretty bad but I'm fine. Adam almost new it was going to happen cause he was prepared. Tissues to wipe the blood, water to wash it, that little dettol hand wash thing which stung so much but Seamus says " is your rod and reel ok" and "at least you didn't forget how to fish" Oh Seamus. Lol Anyway, after that Seamus gets a little 30ish cm flattie. Then I pull in a nice flattie of 43cm which took away the pain. Then after that, Adam lost a GOOD fish. Big flattie We then moved up and around to Le' montage and Adam lost yet another flattie. We then went back to the canal but got nothing and then left Poor Adam lost three reasonable fish but very well done on your persistence mate and thanks heaps for helping when I tripped Cheers thefisherman6784 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witha Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Nice work boys, glad you're alright Gianni sounds like that could have ended really badly. Good to see a few fish come in. Adam will definitely get stuck into those big ones soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneyfisher12 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It was great to get put for a fish again with you Bad luck on all the flaties Adam it won't be long until you get one Not the best day but still great to be out fishing Cheers sydneyfisher12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamski Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Cheers mate, that was a painful-sounding fall- I was worried we were going to have to ring 000 when I saw you slip and hit your head near those oysters!!! Hope your hand's okay. Total kudos to you for soldiering on afterwards, I know a lot of folk who would've called it a day after that. Thanks so much for trying to get down and fix the lure, for the shot on your rod and for fixing that big tangle on my line towards the end there- you're a true gentleman. Cheers to Seamus too for the advice about rods and reels- think I'm settled on a 2 piece Pinster, but need tot hink a bit about reels. So first time I was out with you guys I got nothing, second time I hooked a load of fish but failed to land any, I reckon third time round we're due a metre-long king fish, right?

thefisherman6784 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks witha Adam will get the hang of it and if he landed them he would have out fished me and Seamus combined I wish Adam A big king would be nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited September 26, 2014 by thefisherman6784 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Mate I went to check it out today, I was working around the corner. Would have been 12.30, I wanted to see round 2 of Gunfight at OK Canal. Must have just missed you guys. Keep your wounds clean and use Elastoplast with EDP powder. Sorry I missed you guys, I need some tips. Cheers Ryder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamski Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Went for another quick flick down there again this afternoon and FINALLY got one of the little blighters not far from Le Montage. He must have been pretty hungry cos he almost hooked himself through the eye and spat out some fry when I got him up onto the side. Managed to get the hook out and he seemed to swim off okay afterwards. Happy to finally break my SP duck around there. Cheers again for yesterday guys. Here's the little chap: And here's what he spat out: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydneyfisher12 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Went down myself today lost more lures than caught fish Got there at 1pm fished the start of the run out until 4pm I got one little 39cm flatty and that was it other than a few dropped hook ups. Sorry no pic I lost one blade to a bridge one plastic to a massive tree and two to the bottom Cheers sydneyfisher12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefisherman6784 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Bad luck Seamus You lost my blade that your meant to give me Still haven't cracked a 40 Cheers thefisherman6784 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witha Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yeah blades are killer man. They just stick to anything can never afford good ones. Losing plastics annoys me less, but damn it gets expensive haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
