Went out for a fish last nite. Got some nice size baits to use live. A nice high tide at 10.30pm. Okay might be in with a shot.

Had to re anchor a couple of times because the wind was that strong it kept dragging the pick. There were some gusts to 35 knots or so.

Ended up landing a few rays from door mat size to coffee table size. They arent silver with 50 cent peice size scales though.

The last thing of the night slammed an 8" mullet and lolled around slugging it out 20 or 30 mtrs from the boat before it decided to bolt off into the darkness. It is a strange feeling loosing line into blackness.

At 1 stage I put the rod in a holder to wind the other rod in and get it out of the way!! It was looking like a complete spool job. This thing actually broke the spool clicker while it was running!! haha. mongrel.

And with about 30 metres of 20lb braid left out of 200 odd metres 'the thing' busted me off on the wind on leader.

Ahh well, better to have fought and lost than not to have fought at all.

Considering how cold it was last nite, I decided to head home and marvel the happenings over a few brews!!

When that big Mulla comes along though, it will make it so much more rewarding.

Cheers.
