Finally got a fish on SP,

 After many attempts this yr fishing marinas, beaches, rivers i finally landed a fish using a soft plastic.  I was using a gulp 3in minnow black and white and 2in grub pumpkin on  9lb line.  Hooked into 6 of the mongrels but only landed the 1 which peeved me off but had a blast either way, cant wait to get back out there again next week .  Im pretty certain it was mullet but if im wrong let me know.  Caught Mindari near the pub.

 Good work mate the first one

 Good work mate the first one is always the hardest to catch. It took me 8 months to catch a fish on a demersal jig and now I've got a pretty good hit rate. Good work with sticking with it
