PB Kidney Slapper
Submitted by wrassinator on Sun, 2009-01-11 16:28
Went out the FFB this morn (after finding a carpark @ Peron...man it was busy).
After a slow start with Injekted80 (Deano) we managed a few rat samboes, small Pinkie, wrasse, small blackbum, and then this silver speed demon. I called pinkie as it was head shaking and pulling like a train, but then the long slender quicksilver came into view and it was a PB slapper for me.
My daughter was almost as stoked as me.
Ado
Pretty stoked, went 550mm and weighed in at 1.3kg.

Yep some good advice there.
Yep some good advice there. Ryan posted some info early last week on the topic "window fishing". After all his advice I nailed this guy on herring - go figure eh?
Still keen to hit some real known offshore KG haunts next time and give it a dedicated try though. Oh yeah and had this guy for tea - sensational.
