Grayband or not

Well the day started with a buzz as we hit the water at around 6.30, the plan DEEP to get the gray band and ruby snapper. Well after 1.5 hours of getting crap knocked out of us we arrived. 200m +.The westerly was in at around 10 -15 knot and a three meter swell not the best conditions but we were very determined to catch one of the gray ghosts. On with the bait and downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn we went, after a short time and we were on, not big but a fish, so upppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp it came, not what we were hoping for ,but a green-eyed shark, so on with some more bait and downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn to the bottom again , now we were really having fun ,after a few more shit fish and a lot of uppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppps and downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns we thought it time to head in a little closer , as we old men are not use to working this hard for our fish. After lunch we started heading back to shore, with was a longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg way in .

Any how the day was not a total lose with Mr. Magoo saving the day

A few more fish and time for home thank god as the day of upppppppppppppppppppppppppppppps and downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns had taken its toll and I needed a cup of tea and a sit down..

as can be seen in the last pic no money had been speared with only the best harness for Menopaul.

Yes I’m sure we can sort something out, but the warranty would be void as we can only guarantee the best of rope
