Headed down to the beach about 5:30 last night with dad and nick
we set up and put the big ones out in good time,
i had three casts to get a good one for some reason (i hadnt had many beers yet), put the rod down and set the running drag and walked off to get a beer when i heard my reel going nuts so i chucked my beer down (none spilt)
and sprinted for my rod as i got closer i noticed it stoped running, at this stage i thought i lost it, got to the rod tweeked the drag and hit it bang i was on, i screamed out Yeeeeeoooow! im on boys, it felt quite decent and after a big long run dad called its a stinger, i replied with i dont think it is (in the back of my mind i thought it was too but dont tell him that) i began to retrive some line i found it had ran a long way to my right i called shark, so i started to chase it down the beach by this time the boys were following me up closly, i said one of youse are going to have to take your shoes off (to that no replies?) i new we didnt bring the gaff, as it neered the shore i was trying to pic wat it was i couldnt see verry well and i called its a gummy grab the trace at this time my 30lb main line snapped, i screamed get it as the fish was in the beach wash, out of noware dad lunged at it and grabbed it by its tail (he must be f#%$ing mad) and dragged it to the shore and this nice bronzy was landed.
I couldnt belive this all happnd within the first 10mins of getting there, and i got hit within 2mins of it hittn the water
not much more happened after that dad got a couple of blowies and i got a small skippy
the highlite of the night has to be dad (franke) going in for it cheers dad it was a good night!
Thanks

Haha, good report there mate, well done
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.
