First time with plastics
Submitted by Lossie65 on Wed, 2014-04-09 10:54
Well I've heard and read all the hype about soft plastics so I thought I'd better give it a go. Did some research and checked you tube so figured I could manage it. Headed out on Wednesday morning to the West side of 5 fathom. Put on a 6.5" Gulp Nemesis White Glow on a 1/2 oz lead head and cast it out. Would you believe it, first cast and I'm on to my PB Snapper. What a great start. Ended up being the only I landed as I lost 3 others. 1 snapped off and the other 2 were due to my poor knots. ( I need to practice). Still, a great morning. I'm now hooked on plastics. I was fished scaleys and squid but neither of these were touched.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

What time did you start fishing if you don't mind me asking?

Cracking fish! The only pinkies I'm able to catch at the moment are about the size of your beast's tail!
