slothparade Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Took the kayak out to go for some crabs and bream. Dropped the pots off in the mangroves with a whole mullet and some chicken frames. Then dropped a trap for some poddys. The water was very murky with all the rain but it was very warm which was nice since I forgot every single bung at Home. Casted some grubs along the crusty boats, mangroves and rocks. Then went out into the main channel and differed down with a grub and got a nice bite which broke off after peeling quite a bit of drag. Also had a great take in the entrance to a bay, didn't hook properly but I got some great scales Also hooked my self and had to pull the hook from 1 side of my thumb to the other to get it out so that sucks. Anyways didn't get any poddys or crabs but still a great day. Any faybout on the water is a good day 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Flatty Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Good report @slothparade. Any hooking that requires it to be pushed to the other end is a serious one! I guess that is a lesson learned, which will hopefully not be repeated... Get down there as often as you can over summer and find out what those mystery fish are! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmk1962 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Great report. Bummer about the bungs and the hook through the thumb OUCH ! With bungs, I have then on braid so they can't be lost and always have spares in something that is unlikely to be forgotten and left behind on a trip ... like the tackle bag.

Cheers Zoran Good idea with the bungs. I almost forgot my tackle lol. Can't type properly or pick up anything with a bit of weight so it's been pretty crappy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I love your positive attitude mate! Forgetting the bungs, skewering yourself, no crabs or baitfish, poor results on the water... and still you find the resolve to put a post up on here. I hope your thumb heals up properly and quickly and you can carry your positivity into your next trip on the water. Thanks for sharing your eventful day. bn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
