Pinkies at Range
Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2017 3:09 am
Once again the weather gods whilst kind with the temperature didn't do us any favours with the wind direction with the bay being as flat as a billiard table . Still given that I am no longer working I wanted to make the most of it just unwinding and forgetting the bast 40 year of hard work.
Fished as I have been for a while now right next to my car, doing this means that I have to get the baits out wide to the drop off areas otherwise its basically no good.

John and I were hoping to get a few decent sized reds for the session and initially we thought were were going to be in luck , sadly for John to turned out to be a very big ray that decided it didn't want to be in the same area. Nearly spooling John's Penn Squall 15 in one run but thankfully it parted company and didn't bother us again.
I was putting the baits out wide using two of my Century's being the Eliminator T800 and the other being theExcalibur "C" curve with them being matched to my Penn Squall 12 and 15. Both rod were throwing 150 gram leads mated to pulley rigs and 4/0 circle hooks baited with Salmon & Pilchards.

Similar to last year though the areas did give me 7 smaller pinkies with 4 coming back for a meal with me.

All in all a relaxed session that put a smile on my face and made me realise that there is a lot to look forward to in life , especially when your not having to go to work the next morning

Hopefully on the next session I can get a few bigger models to bring home :mrgreen:
