I went somewhere new this weekend. Only due to the fact that someone I know has surfed there and said he a seen quite a few toothy critters in the area. Decided to give it a go and Saturday. To my detriment, I took far too much equipment and a nice long 1.5km hike, cooler box full with bait, 3 rods, back pack, 3 rod stands about 12 8oz sinkers etc etc etc.
First cast in and slide a nice yt head. Start setting up the second rod, busy getting bait ready and suddently I hear the orgasmic sound of my reel. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ run to my rod trip on a rock or 2 and suddenly the sound stops. *(&$#%^(&#&*& I think to myself, it dropped it. I then wait a while and nothing happens. Carry on sliding my other rod out with mackeral as bait. All goes quiet for about 40 minutes and I decide to check the rod with the YT head. Bring it in and boy had something with BIG teeth picked it up, but its still looking good enough to slide back out.
Recast and slide out, now with both rods in the water, I decide to set up my edible rod and have a cast close to shore. Who knows what in and around the area. A few minutes after casting, ON, its a small shy shark. It had been about 10min since I reslid the YT head out and suddenly ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 10 second break and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and then nothing (*^($*($)$)#_ I start shouting every possible word your mother shoudlnt here you say. I bring that slide back in, recast and reslide the YT head as its still usable.
While im playing around with my smaller rod, I manage to catch another small shy shark, big enough for bait. I bring in the mackeral slide which came back hooks only and no mackeral. Set up this puppy and slide him out.
Once I finished sliding, my YT slide goes again ! And this time she is a screamer !!!!!! I run up to my rud, pick it up, tighten the drag and start to wind into the fish as I using lovely 19/0 circle hook !! AND ON DAD !!!!!!! I thought this had to be 150kg's + ran straight into backing, tightened drag even more as didnt want to run out of line. After an hour of fighting, walking up and down the coast, I manage to walk it about 200meters to a landable spot. Not as big as I thought, but a nice 80-90kg bronzie. I must say its not the easiest landing one of these by yourself. Definately a spot to return too !!!!!
