What are the chances of catching the same fish twice? I lost a soft plastic to an unseen fish and about one hour later, fishing the same channel I caught a cod on a live bait. When I unhooked him, low and behold inside his mouth is my soft plastic! It was his lucky day, he was 46cm which is size for an estuary cod, but I wasn't 100% sure it was an estuary cod due the lighter colourings, so I took that yucky plastic thing out of his mouth and released him.
Other than that got a few under sized pinks and blacks and kept an 800 mm Queensland school mackerel.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
