christening the loomis

[DOOGZ]

got out for a fish today, finally after working all week and my fishing buddy up in Sydney the week before. Been looking at my brand new g.loomis sitting in the corner waiting to christen it. No checking the weather or anything. we were going fishing.

We arrived at 6am and being a huge high tide we decided on perch first. After going up and casting stiffy minnows at snags without a touch we reached a rockwall and my lure was hammered by a little trevally ( First on the loomis, not that 50cm perch i was after). We continued upstream and came to our perch spot. Without even a touch on our drift we started our way back. just about to leave I happened to look away from my lure and when i looked back to solid EPs were there and the smaller one had just hammered it, The bigger fish looked to be 45cm+. After a mad dash for the snags and a bit of a fight the 40cm fish was boated.

When we arrived at the hole the blades were so deadly at last time and the wind started howling. So it was time to find somewhere out of the wind. with no success the battery ran out and we were reduced to paddling our canoe Damn IT (dodgy battery chargers) It took us four hours to get back and with only a few tailor and trevally caught once the wind arrived it was still good to get out.

Dont i look stunning at 6am hahaha
