You Wouldn't believe the Luck today----
Guys, no pics but listen up.
I dropped my rod in the ocean, (abu garcia with 7000i )on a hook up, basically wasnt paying attention whilst positioning myself, anywsay away it went into the abyss straight to the bottom at 50metres.
Absolutely gutted I was, especially as nothing was hitting the jigs, bait, rigs we were sending down on a what looked like activiity at the bottom.
As I was slipping into depression 10 mins later, my deck mate dropped his line and had felt a knock, and started to haul in...whinging and groaning the fish had no life, and pondering what it was, he hauled in a abu garcia rod with 7000i reel....
For me it was catch of the day....happy days....once again..and a carton of beer to the deckie...
The little Red was still on too...... just added...

a couple of years ago
I hooked and reeled in a shimano baitrunner 6500 and ugly stick rod in cockburn sound, rod cracked last year but the baitrunner was
serviced and still going strong, must have only been down a day or two.....
no fish though!

mate dropped my tld 15kg lender boat rod over the side

If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

Lucky,
I saw the new boat this morning, Looks nice but I think you'll need a pay rise or a couple of extra deckies to fuel it LOL
