Well I got home last night, it was blowing a gale and pouring rain so I thought what better to do then go fishing
So I packed up the wet weather gear and headed down to the local beach, hoping of getting a good feed of pinkies for dinner, and boy was I in luck.
I was only down there for just over an hour before my headlamp batteries died

but in that time I landed 8 pinkies and two salmon. The pinkies were that hot I had to put the second rod away because I couldn't get it re-baited before the other rod had gone off! Was using halved squid heads for bait.
The pinkies mostly measured around the 35cm mark, keeping three for dinner and releasing a few for another time.
I've been switching all my reels over to FishingSir Godline braid recently, and I have to say, even in these horrendous conditions, I could not fault it. Not a single wind knot and the casting distance was crazy. Strength held up well and got me out of many snags. They also make a fluorocarbon product which I was using as a leader and clearly it worked well. Would highly recommend checking it out.
Until next time!
