Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

The Art of Fish @Dundee

Out with Dad and an old workmate this morning.
Rod fishing was a bit slow compared to the last evening I was out with Joe butbI got a nice 12ish pound snapper on the strayline and ol mate got some stonking gurnard...then a southern sail fish that got tangled in the burly pot and resulted in the end of my new rod being broken off!
Ah well.....
A feed off bacon Sammies later Dads strayline took off.
It had some serious drag on it(I had wound it up when I reset it) and it was peeling line and going straight for the burly pots
..Quick smart we got them and all the other lines in but this fish was fighting dirty under the boat,Dads old fiberglass powerpole bent double! I thought surely it would snap!.....the fish saw the anchor rope and went for it and busted off..
The braid was embedded in the lay of the anchor rope.
My money is on a bloody good king tho we never saw it.
It didn't fight like a Bronzie or Mako.
Picked up a few more fish then pulled up a longline for a few more good snapper .
