Best report ever!

... you obviously haven't Read My Other Reports yet  then ....

So .

Time flies When you're in a spot Like This , and before i Knew it , it Was heading for 4 Pm .

A comical Moment , was when i tried to Make a handline out of the roll Of Mono I usually take with , for Lighter stuff . all the leftover .40 or .45 Line , i tie together and either use it for sinker line , or a Light Trace . i quickly rolled off what i felt was enough Line , went to my Tackle box , and Dispatched a Nice small hook , a treble swivel , and a pyramid . Only Got One rod , so with No other choice , i Wanted to fish for a galjoen ........................

Carefully tie On the Red bait (left out for a Week-should've called all the galjoen from stillbay)  , find a spot for the Roll behind a v-shaped rock. i'd been playing in the gully with a shorter Piece , but i Wanted to put it out in front of us , just to see what i could "scratch " for .  

Swung the sinker over my head , gave it 2 or 3 good whirls to clear the drop and Let go .

I Had to hold On after this .

I Let go Of the Line , and the Pyramid flew off to the horizon , peeling the line off the ground in front of My feet.But In my haste to get fishing again , i didn't really Measure just HOW MUCH line I'd unwound from the spool , and -yup- you guessed it - I'd Thrownn the sinker further than the Line of the spool , and -with one short *YANK* -There goes the spool out from behind the rock , into the Sea !!!!!!! Lekke rooiaas , the whole tolletjie of Line  -GONE !! NO MORE HANDLINE FISHING Again - NOT EVER !!!! Ha  Ha Ha Ha !!

I Swear to you , hannes was Laughing so hard i could Only turn around and say "

"0000%$%^&% !! - THAT wasn't supposed to happen  !!!!!!!!"

 Shucks It was funny as hell .I didn't Think I would put it up on sealine, but In Retrospect sometimes one Makes the silliest Mistakes .This was One Of em !!

Damnit Man , i Laughed for a Long time after that . ALL THAT BLOODY EFFORT- FOR NOTHING !!! Lololololol ! good thing I Don't do things Like that in front of My kids .

 

i Made a Last cast with sore stomach Muscles , and we Remembered that we Still had to climb back up ....................

If you think down is a Bugger , then you just have to try going back up .

Crumbs .

THis is the spot i vowed i will come back to Fish again .

 It took Me more than 14 years to find it again , i was Overwhelmed to find it after so Long .

I recalled, after seeing some of th ePathway , the line going across the rocks . all those years ago ....

Between Ian and Myself we Murdered the sharks that day - took nothing home with us , just had some Fun . I was still a youngster back then , and it  was good fun .

And Now For some humour .

You'll realize we'd been there the whole Friggin Day . It had been a good fight , a long trip down ( apparently There's a short-cut -you jump -)   and an Even harder trip back up .

Back along the Pathway , Playing 4x4 as you go along , Making paths where no Path existed before .

 you're so tired and you REEEEALLLLY don't wanna turn around , or walk sideways -you just pick the shortest climbable Path out through the bushes , and you Fall forwards. Through!

Hannes seemed to be Second-guessing how exactly to get back to the car , and after a Long fruitless Day such as this , I'm Never in the  best Of moods .

 so , close the kids ears , and if you will , at My expense , have a good chuckle as I enjoy a tragic walk back to the Loop-ring ....

 

First though , we have to climb back up over the ridge , then up the rope-case (it's Not a Stair-case , cuz a staircase has stairs ) , all long the path , back to the pump station , then left to the car .

 Not hannes . No . we'll simply go Straight . ...Yea.

Right ..

(a word of Warning-Language - and please - Try Not To Laugh too hard as i neuk Over In the bush . It was far from funny then-only when we got back to hanne's place , did i chuckle like Mad about this clip . Just thought i had to share it with you .

4x4ing- with your Feet . ! ha ha ha ha !!

haha great report Stu!

what a magic spot... It must surely have a good yellowtail run in the summer months...

hooking a black ray off any rocks is dicey at the best of times, at that spot its just a painful waste of energy and tackle... Still fun to get towed about now and then ;)
 
Wow, what a report! You might think I'd read this and say I'm glad I fish off a boat, but hell with isolated spots like that, I'm not so sure I'm gonna say it!
