Witha Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 G'day raiders! Lately my after work bream sessions have had some company in the form of my wonderful girlfriend. And I've got a but if a dilemma...can't decide whether to buy her a ring or a rod! After a couple of years of tolerating my fishing and joining me for the sake of learning what I love, she's now killing it on the plastics and bugging ME to go out for a session! We started last week with a casual after work mission to the Parra and she quickly managed two small flatties! (Breathe a sigh of relief there, she cracks it pretty quick if there's no action) She's getting much better on finessing light lures and I knew she'd grab a bream soon, which she surely did and had her first taste of spirited little bream fighting. After a rough few days at work, we headed to another bay on the parra for an evening session, I'd bought her some gulp grubs knowing she'd get more bites on them to keep her interested, I shouldn't have bothered! While I was rigging up she flicked out the zman grub left on her outfit and two flicks later the little sustain was zinging away! I took a step back rather than coddling her and instructed from a distance, and she fought and landed a very healthy 30 cm model! [emoji2] Over the next few days we had a couple of sessions and she's added quite a few species to her plastics list including whiting and tailor and more respectable bream. Basically she was schooling me (for my ego I'm going to say it's because I spend my time rigging and unsnagging for her) But needed a few solo sessions with some mates to get my groove back. The parra has been kind to me lately with some fat healthy models coming in to 37 on surface, hbs and plastics. This one was a great test of my new ian miller t curve muscling him out of some pontoons. A few more with a pb on surface and a mate with a bloody honker of a whiting at 41cm Also had some weird catches lately as I attempt to land any form of pelagic (please fishraider help me!) Including a flounder on a halco twisty and bream on 5 inch jerkshads. Add about a million flatties to the list and the persistence wears thin but I'll keep on plugging. Thanks for reading guys hope it entertained some of you. Now I have to suss out a combo for her. ..apparently my "hand me downs" aren't good enough. I gave her a bloody nitro rod and a sustain....where do I go from there haha. Cheers Witha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Ben, what a great read and unlike everyone else, don't marry her! She's way too good an angler for you! Lol. Seriously, that's awesome.

Giffo Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I agree with Blood Knot. My better half loves fishing and is pretty good at it a well. Nothing better than sharing great times on the water together. Just make sure it is a 'split ring'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucho hucho Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I am envious. My better half loves to fish at Costis only. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamski Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Very nice job on getting the GF interested and catching fish mate- definitely got yourself a keeper there. Any chance you could come and persuade mine to take up flicking SPs too? Nice sized fish there as well- that whiting's a whopper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
