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...

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
