!!I KICKED TROYS BUTT TODAY!!
Hi guys
for those who know, troy(my son) has been kicking my arse out on the deep blue latley...until today!!
goodz, troy and myself headed to o/reef today with the full intentions of trolling for mackies, left the marina at 4.30am and headed out to start trolling and thats where it pretty much stoped, too much weed and made it near on impossible to troll for more that 30sec without having to clear the lures.
so we packed up and headed for the deep....
started well with alot of fish coming over the side...
ben was on the jigs with me and troy on baits, baits won hands down today.
went quite fo a couple of hours until we decided to send some burly out and have a floater in the trail...
all of a sudden some dollies showed up chasing bens placcy around but not wanting to hit it, about 5mins later bens floater goes off and ben is loaded up big time
turned out to be a 3.5-4mtr shark which put some serious hurt on ben and his rod(pics and maybe a video to follow)
i lost 2 big hookups, half way up each time, pulled hooks so maybe going to hard on them?
troy at this stage had not got alot, whatching dad do all the hard yards pulling fish after fish, some good, some shit.
then i get hit again with something solid, so took it a little slower and managed this nice size pinky 77cm...happy chappy and letting troy know all about it.
fish of the day goes to me and not troy for a change.
we ended up getting for the day
4 nice size baldies (2 kept)
8 dhuys all under size with only one needing the release wait.
4 nice size b/ass (2 kept) plus lots of small ones
about 4 big srgt bakers
skippy
my pinky
and all the normal shit like wrasse and football sweep.
all in all, this post is just to hang shit on troy, he dosent always catch all the fish!!!!
cheers ron
ben loaded up big time, with some serious hurt getting put on him
some serious hurt still getting put on ben with his seriously hurt rod
my pinky...fish of the day!!

I'm walkin around like an old
I'm walkin around like an old man tonight with a sore back! Easily the hardest fight I've ever had with a fish (shark), had the the old gosa locked up big time and the monster mesh couldn't handle my high sticking.. Haha.. Certainly didn't help using a little broom handle to fight that beast to the boat! I would say closer to 3m than 4m tho Ron, as much as I like to exaggerate :) will put a little underwater vid up tomorrow.
Cheers for the good day out Ron! You won this round...

the floater was meant to be for a mackie not a bloody big shark!!

Well done Ron
That's a real nice pinky, Ron.....good way to put Troy back in his place for a while!! Age and treachery WILL overcome youth and enthusiasm
Goodz really had his hands full with the shark...pity about the rod breaking, though...any excuse to go shopping.

If life is boring, you must be doing it wrong!
