JohnDory Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Very nice read Scratchie, You have made me a little nervous. June 2015 I have a trip coming up similar to yours to Swains Reef Qld. I bought a little Stella 10000 and a T Curve rated at 50 Lb from a bloke in here (Fishraider) and i'm thinking i'm under gunned. Note to self. Spare line... Spare line... Only 233 Days to go but who's counting. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyNurse Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Yeah, but when are you gonna get to the GOOD spot? So happy for you, mate. Things like that only happen so seldom that they live in the memory forever. Still, if another chance crops up, go for it. I love a good read.

Ray R Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Wow mate what a great post, it was everything I said it would be and a bit more don't ya reckon... The crew I put together worked out great as well, the way the group got on with each other was just great, lots of first time meetings and it turned out to be a top gang of blokes. The skipper Alister and deckie Dan were fantastic, very professional and fun to be with, plenty of good food as well. All up a top shelf trip so many fish of various shapes and sizes. When you plan something and talk it up you really want it to turn out right, well this far exceeded all expectations.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
