last weekend i headed out in bass straight out from cape woolamai chasing a mako or 2  perfect flat  conditions   set the trail where i got 1 last yr in 45mts of water after bout 1 hr of burleyin  sfew birds flyin around  i heard a slap in water  about 10 secs later heard another 1 this time i was watching n knew it wasnt a bird then 10 more secs later reel screamed off  which rod i didnt wanna get a big fish on  it was  my gummy rod  a nitro godzilla   well i was on hooked up   the fish headed down  to the bottom which i thought it was goin 2 be a blue shark which they dont usually do to much  after bout  30 40 mins i got it up which it jumped out the water and couldnt believe what i saw it was a thresher shark  then straight down the bottom again  worst thing was the butt of the rod was to thick to fit in the gimbal which made it better hard  for me  then after 1hr 30 mins got it back up again    and was right next to the boat  which was just bout 2 gaff it when it decided to have a quick last dive when the wire trace snapped in half  i was heart broken  the fish was 150kgs plus  then after that no much sharks for rest of the day  then came in close next to the shore and hard a blast on catching  a stack of salmon to about 3 kgs on  light gear which hopefully in next few weeks will turn them into  some gummies
