Smashed the PB Landbased Dhu again!!
Another mercy dash to the south coast and we found ourselves with a 1:30AM alarm leaving Albany to get to our location by first light a few hours out of Albany. Hour walk to the ledge and it must of been one of my first casts after collecting some herring as bait and hooked up and fought a good fish that took my herring fillet. It was slow but powerful and was swimming around. Felt like a heavy fish but to slow or lazy for a good pinky or Queen snapper so I guessed a small sambo that couldn't take much drag on the heavy 80lb gear. Quick fight from shallow water and this silver fish popped up next to the ledge and the screams of joy and excitement from us could of been heard in another state!!! After finally cracking a good dhuie not long ago after years of trying to pull another even bigger I was blown away.
always looking for a new challenge!!
