Hey People just a little report on todays fishing session.

 well i got down to spinikers (spelling) at 12pm i was setting up my fishing gear and met leemo there as we were talking i was setting up my big rod hes big rod goes off! that thing wasnt stopping. going straight! after about 10mins the line gave in and the fish got away, after checking the line we saw not abrasion marks but teeth marks... which made us think it could have been a shark as there were also head shakes.

anyways that made me pumped. with all my gear set up i casted out the big rod, we were flicking baits and lures out with no succes. i reeled in the big rod and saw a huge bit about 0.5cm from the hook.

we got the plastics and light rods and headed for the lighthouse. there were a few people there using bait etc. but we casted out our Berkley Power baits Watermelon/Pearl 3" and with in a few minutes i had caught the first fish a herring. i had stirred that school up and they were going crazy for the plastics. unfortunatley i had 3 herring but one landing and it was very good size. anyway Leemo casted out and got a hezza aswell as i was reeling in i gave the last twitch and out of nowhere came a snook. First snook i ever caught we were busy silencing it when it fell down the rocks and a crab started eating it alive. but then it swam away.

we started walking towards the re-fuel jetty and i casted out. waited about 20 secs while i was talking then first twitch and on the sink what was called for a fair size skippy went for the placcie i was playing around with it and messing with the drag and i forgot to set the hook, the thing was peeling of drag and then nothing it spat the hook :(. After that Leemo hooked up also to a skippy and with him saying you need to set the hook he forgot himself HAHAHA and lost it hahaha.

we headed back to the disabled platform and casted out the big rods with fresh hezza fillets but we wernt catching anything. Leemo whent to go get a buffy with some of my lunch bread :D while i stayed with the big rods. we came back after being busted as it went straight under the rocks :P.

We then decided to go back towards the lighthouse for a second bash at the Hezza and hopefull chance of catching a skippy or tailor but with no luck we started heading back to the disablled platform once again when we saw a comotion going on :O we walked to the rocks and saw 2 stingrays feefing of the rocks. it was natural instinct Leemo and i at once dropped our rods and SPRINTED to the disablled platform to grab our big rods and get a ray. we got the big rods now lets get a ray we tried several times to get one with no luck. Leemo got snagged and was trying to get it unsnagged when a Blak ray came over and ate his bait! BAM! Leemo was on!with it slowly but surely making for the harbour mouth leemo stayed in pursuit climbing over all the rocks 50m west. i ran back to the platform and cam back to the lighthouse with the gaff and gimblet. the ray then took leemo back towards spinnikers and he followed 50m east. he was pretty exhuasted and then after about 20-25 minutes the ray had its first sun taking off to the re-fueling jetty and then ping! line snitched on the barnicles of the pylons. ray was estamated 30kg +/- it was a great sight.

After that we were all pretty tired and i had to go home. adn im sure Leemo was tired form hearing those pants :P

oh well maybe next time ill hook up and maybe next time well land a ray.

Thanks for making this fishing session a great one Leemo!!!!
