The charging system in my 6.5 metre hardtop died a sad death 3 weeks ago, waiting for the new parts to arrive from the states means I have been land locked for the last 4 weeks. 5 weeks ago, however, the missus decides she needs a kayak so she can go exploring while I fish. I relunctantly agreed thinking that it may buy me a few more hours fishing timeWink Why is it when the boat is out of order the weather turns fantastic????? So yesterday afternoon, got home from work and was suffering from LOFS (lack of fishing syndrome), so "borrowed" the missus's kayak, a couple of rods and headed out from Bucklands beach. Relaized pretty quick that its much easier when you have a motor on the backLOL Eventually got to a spot I have been over with the fish finder and deployed baits. First drop barely reaches the bottom before a nice 42cm snapper attaches itself to my hook.....game on..... The next 45 minutes were pretty full on, if I was keeping them could have easily kept my quota. Only problem is the missus now wants to know why when we go out in the boat I go so far! Was a splendid way to spend the arvo and have to say until the boat is up and running there may be a few more kayak trips! Good thing I let her buy it in the first place huh!?!?! LOLTongueLOL
Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.
