Pissed off with myself lost dhuie boat side

 well me family headed to our beach shack at grey Boxing Day and got there about 9am  plan was to quickly unpack and put the boat in but me dad had other ideas wait for me other and uncle to arrive and unpack  then they wanted a cup off tea while I was itching to head out with perfect conditions I was getting pissed off Finaly me keen uncle got the rest going and we Finaly lanched the 2 boats by 1030 or so and headed north in the shallows to have a crack at some shallow water demersals first spot we were in bout 10m and resulted in nothing so moved on and anchored  burleyed up a lil and next thing I was onto soemthen with a good fight  on me light jigger majorcraft crostage and stradic ci4 3000.  I was calling it straight up for a pinkie. Which resulted in a 460 pinkie being legal we were were I still threw it back hoping for some larger ones to show up but to no avail   After a while and the wind picking up we called it quits for the day but me uncle and cousin stayed out. A few hours longer and Finaly came in with 2 dhuies for the day. 

Saturaay came and knowing the winds were going to drop warly we headed out about 630am and plan was to head out to the 40s  but didn't go according to plan with it a bit sloppy. And me eldest uncle on board dad and I decided to head back to the area we are fishing the day before. Arrived at one particular spot which had some nice shows on te sounder so we threw the anchor    Within 5 mins dad was onto soemthen and was taking a bit off line  but soon got it easily wnough up in the 10m off water  and was a nice 540mm baldie into the eskie he went while I caught a few undesirable fish we kept for bait for me dad and uncle I persisted with the jigs. Next min dad is on again up comes another baldie but undersized  so back in he went. It went quiet so we headed off for a new spot found a nice patch off reef and dropped anchor we barely took the slack out off the anchor rope ask we had dropped already  I was getting tap tap taps. Then bang I'm on then with in seconds dad was on  dad got his to the boat pretty quickly while I was getting the run around the boat a few times with mine and I was thinking ahit hope the 20lb leader I was using holds up  he slowly started to loose the fight and I was beginning to win then I saw colour dad had just netted his dhuie said to him hurry up I'll need the net  I was shouting out dhuie for mine.  Dad was trying to rush but his got tangled in then by now mine was boat side. And was thinking shit this would be close to me pb dhuie off 800mm. Dad was just about got the net free  then next second me fish decided to give bit off kick and next thing I see me line go slack.  So I quickly tried grabbing him by hand but he slipped away next hall u hear was me shouting out Ff@@k  I was nt happy. . But quickly pulled meself together and checked leader the whole 2m was scuffed as and numerous spots were just hanging on  so cut that off and tied a new one on and re rigged by that time we thought we might head a lil bit deeper and so we went to the reef line in about 12-14 m and drifted thur the section seens the swell was low and wind was virtually none  we picked up a few fish such a as black ass flathead. Samba and a skippy  we decided to call it a day  as the by that time the wind had started to pick up . On the Sunday I had to come home  but me dad and uncles stayed till Tuesday getting oht on Sunday and Monday heading to the shallows again and cleaning up both day.  With the biggest waith me dad catching a 750 dhuie. And cousin a 650. In all was a great day rip can't wait to hit the shack again

 next thing
