Pinkies

Well i gave it a good crack this weekend and after getting thrown around by the Wind and swell last night i was starting to think my early success was beginners luck.   After catching a stingray, one skippy and two wrassse I gave up. Never to be defeated and living close to ocean reef, the wind change to SW tonight inspired me to do it again.   Arrived at my spot at about 4.30pm and had to spend a bit of time working on the drift to get on to the sand spot I had eyed off.  Started the burley trail of diced mulies with a few handfuls of chook pellets soaked in tuna oil.   second cast ....on to a just size pinkie. As I am unhoooking that one the other rod goes off and his twin comes on board.   two just size pinkies in about 20 minutes. Then it all turned to crap....the wind changed pushed me back onto the bombie....the pinkie stole my hook and when re-rigging my brand new terez  15-30 the tip clean snapped off...(back to bcf tomorrow for a warranty claim) and then to top it off I had to leave the stuck anchor out there.   Anyone know of someone who can help me retrieve it. It's in 5m of water??? Anyway, the good news is I bagged out on pinkies for the first time ever ...but as usual nothing comes for free!

 Well done you see doing well. I had pinkies following my bait right up to the boat on Saturday but couldn't get them to bite. One day I will keep trying I lost an anchor too I've been using my reef anchor now even had trouble getting that back on Saturday.
