My patience for fly flew out the window ,,after many hours of practise and a lot of swear words I admit I gave up...Fly drove me insane for some reason im not usually one to give in but this got the better of me
![]() ![]() Now the rod is around 10 times smaller and the reel is a hanging wind chime in the back yard [bloody fly fishing] ![]() -------------------- YOU MUST SHOW RESPECT TO GET IT IN RETURN, NEVER PRESUME YOU DESERVE IT.....

Yep Yep it was a bloody big truck
![]() ![]() Not a fresh water fisherman only dabble in non saline water from time to time. Prob the only reason I've even shown any interest in a fly rod was cause last year I had a mongrel of a time getting the frigate mackels to take either a SP or jig lure but those on fly were doing very well as far as hookups went so maybe I'll give them a shot this year on fly if they're being fussy again. -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Yep Yep Daniel
They were everywhere last season up to 3 different schools surfaces @ one time. They were that close I could've reached out & grabbed them even had a couple of 6 ft whaler sharks crashing them & one of the sharkies nearly banged into the boat as it was thrashing around. Only managed 2 frigates that day my 1st cast actually jagged one & after about another 100 casts changing lures etc finally managed to hook the 2nd frigate in the mouth. Reckon I would've had a ball that day on fly. -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

kk geez you're a ninkompoopy
![]() ![]() Serious my arse I knew you were up to no good. Anyways guys had another go @ that fly rod thingy but there were no trucks to be found in the area so no hookups ![]() I did however come home with a new wittle toy to try out. I'm no expert on fry gear but this wittle reel is beautifully made & it's the same as the one we've been trying to catch trucks & tree's with ![]() ![]() Full Alloy has it's own drag system [ I was told that fry reels didn't have drag ???] It's from the Browning range & fair dinkum I could use it as a roulet wheel it just keeps spining around & around then it does some more around & around after that. What you guys reckon is it spoofylacockassen or what ??? ![]() ![]() -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
