Finally I'm on the board
went out a few nights ago before the ban kicked in and finally got myself a pinkie
Im very much bad luck when it comes to fishing but that didn't stop me from getting my own boat. After a few teething problems with it and my piss poor fishing ability the first handful of excursions hadn't been much chop
After a fair bit of studying a sunset trip to finally bring home a pinkie was agreed with me my dad and his mate
After a couple of stingrays we finally got a bit of action and my line went of like a train hit it. As the rod was in the rod holder it actually broke my rodholder when it took of. After a bit of a fight which wasn't too light as I'm nit going to be fishing light until I have actually got some fish on-board I'd hate to lose one when I haven't court one;) well I netted a 80cm pinkie. All three on the boat actually hooked up at this stage but only one boarded.
I took some photos baited dropped back down then bang on again within 2 mins. This time a slightly smaller 70cm version was pulled aboard. We had a few more hook ups and a visit from a north west blowies. Then our night was over.
The boat still has a couple of issues and my fishing ability is still very suspect not to mention my skippering ability but I'm on the board and couldn't be happier.
And thanks to the guys who commentated on my previous post asking for tips muchly appreciated

Well done mate, now that's a
Well done mate, now that's a catch to be proud of. Your fishing ability is obviously way better than you gave yourself credit for!
PS: I hope you do even better once the ban lifts :)

Nice one. Makes it all worth
Nice one. Makes it all worth while doesn't it?
I'm the same. Seem to have terrible luck but managed to get a few pinkies this season. I'm thinking more luck than skill..
