Scratchie Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 G’day raiders, With the Xmas festivities out of the way, some of my family came up to visit! I managed to get my nephew and brother in law out this morning. Looking at the weather there was only a very short window and we took it. Left the ramp at 5am, casting by 530. Both my relos new to plastic fishing but we stuck to the plan. First drift and they must have thought that I was having them on as I came up tight 4 times with 2 decent snapper. A bit more tuition and another drift and they started to feel some nibbles and finally one of them lands one for the box. Then another and another! Changed a few locations and finally the in-law has a bit of drag pulling. I wind up fast and turn my attention to him and with a bit of coaching we land the biggest fish he’s ever caught! And with we called it a morning and head hone in a southerly slop! Back home by 9am! Happy Days 🤙 cheers scratchie!!! 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very satisfying watching someone catch their biggest fish ever. His adrenaline was going and he was pretty excited. 1 hour ago, Peter Nelson said: Nice one mate.

Keflapod Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Fortunately for me, none of my relos are into fishing. If they all were, my boat would sink under their weight. The net result is I end up watching me catch fish - just the way I like it. And I prefer looong trips - 8-9 hours - I call it "quality time away from the asylum, ie the real world". But well done on making their day - catching, CLEANING, unsure about the cooking, and definitely the eating. Now you are the favourite uncle AND father-in-law amongst all the relos in your family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
