A morning of firsts

[michael2203]

G'day raiders,

This morning I dropped the wife and kids at church and head down to the George's river for a quick SP session. Having picked up a new shimano sonic 7'2 and Sedona 2500 on Friday, I was keen to give it a crack. Having had no prior success using SP's before, I was quite skeptical, but being limited for time thought the SP's were a better option than bait.

It was low tide and there was rubbish everywhere. I found a pier and set about my business. After 1/2 an hour or so, and feeling a bit dejected at facing another SP doughnut I'm retrieving my SP past some weeds when BANG! After a little bit of a fight and thoroughly enjoying the way the new gear handled the situation, up comes the second flatty that I have ever caught.

Given that this was my first ever fish on an SP, I was pretty chuffed. Better yet though, it was a great way to christen my new rod and I am hoping it is the first of many to come. What an awesome way to spend fathers day (happy fathers day to all the dads out there!).

Cheers

Hodgo
