queensland Long night paid off, My first thready!

[mookystiks]

Friday afternoon and an early mark from work - where to?

Back to Bulimba to try for the FOTM.

Met up with ryan and after some hard work with the net, one wrecked net and a wet and sorry Ryan! we had 3 prawns a herring and a stonker mullet.

Ryan only stayed for a couple hours, was heading out again at 2am for a try at comslie.

So I sat around by myself for the next 3 hours. It was quiet, really quiet.

I had to sit holding my lines in each hand as I couldnt keep my eyes open, and had the MP3 player going to pass the time.

Finally I get a couple of small hits on the prawn I had peeled after it stopped kicking.

Still no hookup, started bringing it back, as I was sure it was baited by now.

Halfway through the retrieve and it was hit! Crap, on my light rod too!!

Must have taken 8 or 9 runs, and down to the backing twice. Finally convinced up the boat ramp and with a little help from 'lovestocatch' she was mine!!!!

nice one, tried by myself last night for some threadies, also very quiet and dark, but perfect conditions, but it was all cut short as I made an arse of myself on the rocks and managed to see my arse and cut my hand open on those lovely clean rocks...
