Morning guys..
Some of you would have read already about my sojorn into the big blue. So this is for the rest of you as well.
I stuck my hand up to go on a charter chasing YFT. With the bad weather lately and forcasted, the window of opprtunity couldn't of been any better. Clear skies, no swell, brilliant.
Once out there we looked for the water to chase these beasts.. We cubed and cubed and cubed some more. Finally after some 4-5 hours my line started to peel. Very patiently i thumbed my overhead counting to 8 and locked up to a loaded gun. After about 30 secs i was bitten off. I thought there goes my opprtunity. Pete said it was a shark. I didn't know. I was just thinking that's it. Then a while later the Blue shark came up and said hello. We were told that this thing would have eaten our trail and we decided to move back to Browns.
well done bee's so whens the next trip out beats river fishing !! haha no offence to the river fisho's but its non stop action when its on !!!
congrats when r we goin back to the motor boat club to celebrate ??
Great experience Jed. Congrats. Still waiting for my invite. They all reckon I'm too old and will keel over from the excitement.
KKW, you have to get out there. Id like to get out with Jumpy, but i think he'd take too long with the gimble. He'd probably laugh at me, and tell me 'to be a man'
I'm sporting a nice bruise
Alex, anytime.. All i need is a passport and i'm there. P.S. nice boat
Yeah, I watched the video of Steve putting the gimbal belt on Salty Fil (I think) and he seemed to take an awful long time in close behind him. I would be putting the gimbal on BEFORE I hooked into a fish.
Cheeky fellas!
Well done Bees. It was a better read this time round than the other site.
I just watched the video of my trip out with Jumpy. Ive never seen a more excited person in my life!!!
Its funny how you behave when you hook your first fin. I feel like an idiot to even show it to my mates!
Oh well, il propably behave the same again aswell!!!
Yeah, you were a bit excited. One thing I did notice on the vid though - when Steve was putting the belt on you, you were fighting the fish. You are supposed to lean back on the rod and not forward when Steve is in that close behind you.
Onya Jed !
There's nothing like a good session on YFT one of these days I'll give you some tips on how to hook them the Jumpus way it's full proof & you'llwonder why you ever listened to those who pick up the rod & free spool them, to many things can go wrong using that method.
Hey Salty !
Now you know why I was refering to you as a WALLY
let me see if I got it right , you like to talk to yourself & what were those famous words ????
Phill, Phill , you're a legend
You bunch of Woose Pussers !
Jumpus has a habit of hiding the Gimballs on his boat. put one on B4 a fish is hooked & you'll never get invited back on the boat again
