Dawsville cut

Dawsville cut

Down at the Dawsville cut last night first hook up was a small ray then followed by a large hovering dinner table sized one Scotty being ever so helpful brought out the land based game chair and then high tailed it back to the car while I played this damn thing for about 55 minutes,getting drenched from the squally showers that kept coming through,there seems to be a abundance of rays at this location as we both hooked up throughout the night.We were using herring fillets,certainly gave my little saltist 40 a good run and also put some nice bend in the crystal blue powertip boy those things have some grunt bit sore in the arms today. Ssotty also practiced catch and release with numerous giant weedfish he was a legend at catching those they seemed to like tangling around his line.Not a bad way to spend the night fishing,unfortunately nothing with scales was caught but then again there is always next time.

HAHA  what are you chasing in the cut?  If your after tailor try adding a cork to the rig to keep it of the bottom, stops the rays.

tryed flicking around a few lures and sp's for awhile and a local mentioned that there are a lot of rays around so we thought what the hell why not strech the arms a bit unfortunately I hooked a rather large one which did not want to play nice beats sitting in front of the vegie box

Yeah true Caught a big one

Sun, 2007-10-21 20:29

Yeah true

Caught a big one in 40m of water, was 7ft acrossand took about 40mins in total to catch.  Big arse first run on it, and took a lot of drag to lift it from the bottom.
Thats good going to get one off the rocks all the way in, when ever I set something decent size LB I always seem to get pinged.
