Scratchie Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 G’day raiders, Firstly, happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there! Well, the family was kind to me this morning and after waking up late (6:30am haha) I had an amazing breakfast fit for a king and a nice coffee too! Then they broke out the Father’s Day gifts and low and behold there was some fishing gear!!! (I might have circled the catalog and added weights, line class etc) Anyway, I rigged them up and had a bit of a play with the gear. The weather up here has been shocking and today is no different so I didn’t think I get to use them today. But I checked the tide, the rain died off and thought bugger it. So me and no2 went to find a spot to hide from the wind. First spot no good, so we decided to walk about. 2nd and 3rd spot the same. Tried for one more spot when the boy goes I think we are tangled. So I wind in vigorously and bang I loaded up to a nice tailor. For the next hour we absolutely poled them in with many double hook ups and a good laugh to go with it! I also got one up on the boy winning 11-9. Then the dolphins showed up and with that went the bite. Back home now and a beer with lunch doesn’t get much better than that. Cheers scratchie!!! 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berleyguts Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Great stuff, Jeff! You’re right, the weather has been crap! Now... I’m just trying to think where those rocks are... ?? All on plastics? I’m hoping to get out in the boat on Wednesday if the weather's OK. (It’s been too long!). Chance of showers, light nor’easter, moderate SSE swell. Hope it behaves! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berleyguts Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Yeah, I’ve noticed it’s been a bit sheltered from the wind up there. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfield28 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Got spoiled Scratchie... good stuff! I have one of them rods too, they are excellent with plastics, they are super smooth on the retrieve and feel real nice to use, the only problem we had with ours is the bloody little knob to tighten the handle kept coming loose before eventually breaking off... happened to all 3 we had.
