Hi all went for a fish on monday arvo with me mate to the Northern beachs.Got to our destination about 630pm to find a nice deep gutter,looked fishy so decided to start the burley going. Burleyed hard for about an hour before my 8wrap rod buckled over and this fish was running hard, i followed it down the beach for about forty metres before the beast slugged it out but i gained the advantage and within 5minutes washed up a nice Bronze Whaler of about a metre onto the sand. Passers by watched in horror as they were swiming in the same area about half hour before. Me and my mate had a laugh and rebaited with big strips of squid. I cast out and set the rod in the rod holder when a tourist came past for a chat just then the rod buckled over once again, the tourist bloke looked at me and i said what are you waiting for grab the rod, the bloke was more than happy to take on the beast. I stood back with my mate and had a laugh as this big beast took this guy up and down the beach we could only look on and laugh.About 7minutes later the bloke called out to us to give him a hand. I ran down into the wash and grabbed another Bronze Whaler which was well over the metre mark a solid fish, the guy was wrapped the Bronzie was realesed to fight and harrass another angler one day. Kept on burleying for another hour the top of tide when my Abu overhead let out a scream i ran down and set the hoks the fish felt solid,ran hard but was no match for the heavy gear as a healty salmon was washed up on the sand and was put in the bucket for our fresh supply of bait. Had one fresh strip left put it on my 9/0 Gammis and sent it back out when i didnt even have time to put the rod in the rod holder when the rod buckled and a salmon was washed up onto the sand in no time. i filleted the salmon and put on a strip sent it into the gutter feeling confident. Nothing nothing then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz big scream from my Abu ran over and the fish had droped the bait disappointed oh well it will have me coming back like a bad addiction next week nothing else for the night.
