antonywardle Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi Went up to the Entrance early on Easter Saturday for a look around. Managed to catch a nice flaty on a cooked prawn but it was very slow. Not many taps. I was using a new rod, a 10ft 2 piece in a little tinny so that was challenging. Casting is easy but getting the hook close enough to rebait will take some practice. Swapped rods and had a go a catching come Mullet. That too was going very slow with a lot of littles ones around but nothing taking the bait. I ended up with two pretty good ones, and one little one. When I went to take the little one off the hook, it went mental and started thrashing around. One of the spare hooks on my mullet rig got pulling in to my finger. Man that hurt and whats worse was that the fish was still struggling making the whole thing very painful. Anyway, I eventually got the fish off but couldn't get the hook out. So I managed to hook myself twice in two weeks. Anyone recommend a good glove for removing agro fish? Off to the doctors. They started having a look when a fire alarm went off, so we had to evacuate and wait for the fire brigade to turn up. That took about 20 minutes and then another 10 before we were allow back in. So a second go at the hook, and the fire alarm goes off again. Evacuated again. Wait for the fire brigade, who were much quicker this time. Finally got given about 4 needles before it was numb enough to pull out. Got home, cleaned the fish and had a very nice meal. The plastic container is the sunscreen or the water bottle and I'll enter my story in the Catch Of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Not a good habit to have, hooking yourself, especially twice in 2 weeks, At least you pulled out a couple of fish to ease the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunami Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I can't believe you had to have needles prior to removal, when I got a hook stuck in my outer thigh the doctor just pushed it further until the barb protruded then he snipped it off and pulled the shank backwards and out, Dettol wash,bandaid and a few one liners about 'catch of the day',lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
