This weekend the WP League was fished by 2 boats from FBMT.
|
Mad Mahi with Gareth Decker and Kodi Goosen (Jnr), and Gemma with Wes Lane and Paul Louw.
|
The game plan was to hit Rocky Bank and get a couple of snoek , which was successfully achieved by catching a good few snoek on jigs with our 6kg mainline. We then set out on mission impossible to find tail in the cold water.
|
|
Against good advice it was decided to try the Point and, low and behold, by 12 noon the steretjies were working nicely. A little skittish but a couple of casts with our trusty 6kg Ande mainline and it was on.
|
|
A couple of really nice 4 to 6kg class tail landed (takes a while on light line) the SE started to huff and puff quite a bit and in the choppy seas Wes ended up with a hook deep in his leg.
|
|
Once the bolt cutters were put to good use, it was decided to get out of Dodge ASAP and we made a bumpy trip back to Simon's Town.
|
Well done to Paul with 3 species, which equates to a triple-point score.
|
And of course our junior angler, Kodi, showing how he lands tail after big tail on 6kg line making it look easy.
