Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Finally out for a drag, took 40 meter out to the coast, got there to find a bit of a slop running which was disappointing after a week of flat arse weather, set out all the same with waves rolling just a bit high and water trickling down my back, set to dragging trying to fish outside of the surge zone.

We got a hit , beauty! Oh no the hit got pissed, ray so headed to shore, booom trouble likes company ray #2 let’s us know hes pissed.shit ray #3 makes an appearance …not the way I had envisioned this going at all.

Ray #3 breaks free, #1&2 we try to shake loose but the surge and angry fish make this hazardous. Up the beach we haul em.VC and the import sort their one in quick time , @ROKTOY and me struggle with our one which has created a real tangle.

In the end I hand roktoy my knife, I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Roktoy cuts a hole in my net and the ray is free.

It immediately swims with surge straight onshore …bugger me now it’s beached , so with a bit of buggering about the ray is turned around and with the next couple of surges it’s away.

Not a great start, so 40 meter is packed away and we trudge back to the estuary. 40 meter away in my truck. Roktoy goes to his truck breaks out his brand new net. Out into the channel drag drag a net chocka with weed , sticks , a fizzy bottle and blow me down a keeper and a short.

The team bored of dragging kicked us out into the tide again and scratched out a feed of cockles. Another net full of rubbish and a flounder saw us chuck it in.

Great day , amazing company , fresh air and sun on our backs. What more could you ask for. Huge thanks to the team great therapy for us all
