Prevelly 9/4/12
Got the old boy sorted out to chase some bottom fish off margs yesterday. Conditions were actually too good for the majority of the day and drifting was hard but good to be out there. Christened the new xzoga PE2 jig rod on a nice dhu. Finally got the baby dhu hoodoo off the shoulders. It took a 100gr caprice in the chartreuse/gold/silver colour. Talk about a big bend in a little rod! My old man got to try his new custom rod out and got a little sambo and we reckon he had a big dhu on as well but turned out he had hooked a wrasse and the wrasse got absolutely hammered on the way up. Aside from that it was pretty quiet, the cooler water has started to run and fish were present on the bottom but were obviously sulking with the cooler water and easter water traffic. By the end of the day it was getting pretty glassy out there so we decided to head home and have a beer.

Cheers fellas. I weighed it
Cheers fellas. I weighed it at home about 8hrs after boating it and it pulled them down to 11kg. Dont know what she weighed out of the water. But I still reckon thats awesome on PE2 (9kg braid) Cant wait to try and better it!
