some non eds fun

[burney]

so left home at 03:30am and we headed for the mountain when we got there it was still dark and I just lobbed a flapped mullet bait in and after about 30min got a fish on and as I moved on the rocks gave the fish slack line and it came of. my friend got a pick up and the reel was screaming as he put down his scratching rod and grabbed his rod and forgot he had a circle on and striked the fish and lost it next baits out I put on a nice yellow tail head and he put on a bonnie head both throw baits and after 5 minutes he got a pick up and the short fight started and he got a hammer head of 1.1m about 17kgs. so after a very long and quiet wait I got a pick up on yellow tail fillets but fish left the bait I just couldn't get my fish. and he decided to put out another bonnie head and the reel screamed again and he was on and we landed a 1.7m smoothound 24kgs and decided it was enough for the day.
