....And Didnt stop us!!!

ouch!!!! gotta do this quick! So yes we arrived at the spot and yes the wind was pretty terrible however there was little weed. Keen as hell, 3 of us get our lines in, only this time we tried the reef for some bait (which apparently there are no mulies what so ever in WA). Couple small whiting, flounder along with a nice size skippy and another spango which was sized that i lost in the surf spewwing!! Scott99 reeled in a smaller speciman which was smashed in very shallow water(pics) who knows what is was. Ok. Tailor time... and tailor time it was, they were biting till we couldnt fish no more, and even left them biting. All ranging around the 45cm mark with the odd 50 and 55cm.

Change of rigs and out go the big baits, again the rays hammerred us within the first 2 hours of night. Each of us landing 2 in that time none really worth mentioning, all eagle rays and a fiddle ray/shark. With me looking forward to fishing hard after midnight for mulla i ended up getting some reaction to something which blew my hands up and made all my joints itchy as dogs balls. It was terrible!!! Tried battling through but couldnt fight the nausea i was getting so i had to pike it!! i know i know, weak. I'll get the mulla next time.

Hope ya like the pics

Sorry guys, we ain't telling

Sorry guys, we ain't telling where it is. We caught a bunch more Tailor than in the photos, the boys only kept a few for a feed (I don't eat Tailor) & a couple of the 40cm models to fillet for bait. The Tailor were hot for about 2hrs & we were running up & down the beach like mad chasing them. Scott99 got the best of the day at 55cm but the sheer number & the fact that they all went airborne repeatedly made up for the smaller size of the rest. There were plenty of rays & despite our best efforts to avoid them we still ended up with a few including one that took 300m of line off me in quick fashion before sheering the trace on the outer reef. A cracking time was had by all & you can be sure we'll be back up there before too long.

could the alergic reaction be from handling the ray?
