Friday night pinkie

Went out for a bit of a snapper hunt on Friday night.

Only put in around 2ish hours of fishing, got one decent 81cm pinkie on the PE3 gear (wish he'd taken the PE1 gear that was out instead!) and then hooked up to a 70+kg ray, that I wasted a solid hour fighting and then trying to free from my anchor rope after he tangled himself there quite nicely.

Conditions were glass flat though so was a good night on the water, and the snapper went unusually hard - though could be because it was in 7m of water :-)

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Have never had a lot of success on artificials at night time - plus I was feeling lazy!
