Popular Post mike farrants Posted August 1, 2022 Popular Post Posted August 1, 2022 My mate shane was staying with his family, so when i got home from work, we decided to take the kids out for a run about - we decided seeing the "pirates graves" at church ope would be good and we could wander down the cliff to the cove. Being fishermen we did the only thing acceptable and took our spinning rods "on the off chance" we could chuck a lure about while they played on the beach - absolutely no expectations of any fish - its a very snaggy weedy cove, but into deep water - so who knows - id never fished it. we both tried a soft plastic but the wind was on shore - so i switched to a dexter to get more distance, not long in i had snagged some weed and pretended to shane that it was a fish - low and behold it wasn't weed - it really was a fish! i landed a jumbo mackerel much to the surprise of everyone - this was followed by a 2nd and so i handed the rod to shane - so he could try the nomura kanji and the dexter - he too landed a decent sized mackerel - perfect for tea - while his mrs and kids tried with his rod. I also caught a pollock which surprised me too! great fun on light gear, putting up a good scrap - and totally unexpected! perfect! i was laughing all evening - great fun! suzook12, MegaByte, Geoff and 5 others 8 Quote
Andy135 Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 Lovely result! Always good when a session "on the off-chance" turns out to be productive. 👍 mike farrants 1 Quote
