Shot down to the beach after work last night with some nice mackeral I caught at see on Saturday to see if there were ant takers,traced up and noticed my line was not so lekker on the reel so I did a practice cast,8oz sinker and leader took off for Australia,in a bit of a hurry now I sommer do a quick Spyker knot and slap on a short leader,on with a slice of mackie ,nice and long and thin,half hour I pul in a midget spotted cat shark,on with another mackie strip,10 min later my rod is flatsticking,set the hook and the fight is on straight to see locked drag for about 50m then dead,no movement,now I skim flat fish but I dont want to force it too much as I am a bit weary of my quick knots,5min later it starts "walking" out to see I am applying pressure but ever so carefully,I am really not rigged up for a fight like this,any way I start putting more pressure and my knots seem to be holding,20 min later I get visuals in the shore break its not a flattie but a spottie,guy next to me runs over to help and out comes spottie .pc 133cm total about 157cm as my tape only goes to 150cm
