Grandads fair well and one hell of a snapper session
In loving memory of my grandad who passed away last weekend a close mate of mine headed out for a fish. He loved fishing and has shared many a family trade secret with me when I was a young tacker. The trip didn't go to plan at first with no burley and only a dozen mullet. Also to make matters worse forgot my tackle bag. So we had three rods and three rigs. We anchored with not much hope as we had basically gone out with nothing. First thing we brought up was a big cuttle fish you beauty bait. Boy we're we in for it. From the time of the first cuttlefish bait dropped to the last the pinky action was insane. In less then an hour had caught close to 16 pinks ranging from 900 to well over a meter. We made the call only to keep the ones that were badly hooked. Let's just say grandad had our back and gave us a memory that will be with me forever. RIP Grandad
