Golden Beach (90 Mile).
Caught a decent sized crab that was tangled in my line.
Crab has a 38cm Salmon in its claw.
Hooks and sinker are dangling beneath them.
Have a photo of me holding it up but for the life of me cannot find it...

Anchored up for the first time in a roaring tide in the western entrance, went to pull the anchor up and had the entire 100m of rope pulled clean through my hands and gone 1 hour into the trip..

Left 3 rods in the rod holders, got to the next spot after crashing through some chop and wooshka no more rods!!

Plunged my hand into the bait bucket without looking and ran the old didget straight down the blade of the bait knife...

Had a rod in the holder buckle over so hard because I hadn’t set the drag that when I lifted it I pulled the holder out and straight into the drink then busted off to finish the job :rofl:

To cap it off I drove the boat up onto the trailer way too hot and nearly put it into the tub of the Ute smashing a big chunck out of the hull in the process..

#weapon boater/fisherman :rofl: :rofl:

Don’t feel that bad years ago a mate floated past me and said he had lost his anchor I said no worries I had a spare he said you haven’t got 5 mt of chain and 100 mt of rope to go with it have you. His deckie tied a slip knot but the rookie mistake not attaching the end of the rope to the boat. He didn’t live that down for a while.

Surf fishing at Kilcunda few years back, had to cut the morning short after landing my first salmon. 12 yr old ran a barb deep into his heel, I thought I might be able to extract but thought better of it, packed everything up, trip to Wonthaggi hospital for quick jab and push thru...not before hunting down a bag of ice for that “prize salmon”. Good times!
