Hillaries storm pinks

 Just thought id share my first landbased pinkies I've finally gotten, been a hard last few years chasin them with a few lost at the rocks. Everything finally came together last night and managed to break the drought.

 

first was 4kg and 73cm

second was 9kg and 95cm

 

now to wait for the nxt storm and try to break that meter mark lol.

 

cheers 

Reece

feel your pain , I lost a nice pink at north mole thurs, and picked up a consolation prize salmon there today

( after catching endless ones at Albany 2 weeks ago!!) , and a landbased pink loss after a few years of trying

is a kick in the guts , but hey you did it, and for that I am truly happy for you, top effort, and 9kg , 95cm is a

bragger from a boat never mind the stones.

 There weren't as many people there as I was expecting, maybe 30-35 along the whole wall, better than being packed like sardines at the mole.
