Scratchie Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 G’day raiders, Got the chance this morning to meet up with @Woodsy1 and head up to Broughton. After a few pms back and forth, I thought it would be easier to just show him where I fish and the technique. Plus spending sometime on the water myself with a fellow raider. We met up at 5am and headed off to arrive at our spot before sunrise. I rigged him up the same as me and we began a nice drift. Nothing on the first two drifts but I was confident we’d get something. I managed to land a few pannies and Woodsy finally caught his first snapper on sps! Yewwww All up we got 5 nice pannies but no screamers today! That was until I promised him we’d get him a kingfish and sure enough I found some rats to play with! Running out of time we both had commitments, we decided on one more pass and woodsy was onto a much better fish but the fish like the lure more, so after a few screaming runs, pop goes the leader! Well, we called it quits then and headed for Home. Back at the ramp before 10am. A great morning was had with another great raider. I hope you enjoyed the morning Woodsy! Cheers scratchie!!!
