Dam you Paul how do you do it mate? No picture this time though must of been a minnow then!

 

If the weather holds up I am down tonight for another bash!

[Chippy]

Yeah it was a minnow, so couldn't be bothered to trek up the beach for the scales/camera....only a couple of pounds or so.

 

I had a bass too though!!

 

Tides are crap for the rest of the week, but they are ideal on Saturday & Sunday, so best you get a couple ahead before the weekend !! LOL

Went out this afternoon with a pal who is a dyed-in-the-wool sea fisherman.

 

We bunked in (don't tell anybody) to a local wharf aggregates site, with a wet dock, and another nice wharf adjoining.

 

So there I was, centre pin and float rod..

 

..and there he was... handlining..

 

You can guess the rest, can't you? He ends up with two thicklips, two bass, and a sea trout, all on a handline.

 

Me? Nothing..

 

54 fishless hours..

Should of nailed one yesterday but missed it right on the surface! Dam still 4-4 Paul

Just a footnote for those interested in weight/length stats..

 

One of the two fish my friend had was 26.5" long (nose to fork) but only weighed 4 lb on the nose. (My PB of 7lb 8oz was 28.5" long).

 

So..out goes the weight-for-length "rulebook" I was compiling..

I thought about that when I landed fatboy here :-

Hi Chippy..

 

How much did "fatboy" weigh?

[Chippy]

4lb 15oz.......judging by the ruler in the piccy, I'd say about 19" long.

 

One of the first fish I had last year was the exact opposite, huge looking head and a long skinny body:-
