First Metery!! Just snuck in by a chin of a barra!!

Post by rammers »

Gday fishos!!

Well im very proud to say that im now part of the meter club!! 8-) 8-)
To be perfectly honest Lady luck was on my side!!!

Slapper1 was kind enough to show myself and ozedodge the 4wd track into the Finniss mouth.

I went to my favourite snag that i pulled an 80cm off in the reel womans and sure enough my deckie was on with a nice swampy 70cm. I was using the warlock green dazzler and quickly switched to the classic pro nitro (what i got my 80cm on). Cant be out fished on my boat can I??

Not long after the 70cm was in the boat, and a few more trolls sure enough i was on!! Silly part is that i was too busy talking (typical female), stood up and thought, i think im on, but hell its heavy!! Next minute she launched!!! Then i realised I still had the boat going forward, line was peeling off....almost down to the mono under the braid....then i realised i had the ratchet loose, totally not prepared!! :banghead: Of course she went for the closest snag....and yep got herself around it! Bit of manoeuvring, and somehow...no idea how, got her off it., a biiiiig thanks to my deckie for skilful boat manoeuvring!! Couple more small runs and she was in the boat, was a close call but 101cm!!!! 8-) 8-)

Best part was that ozedodge was right there during the whole thing, slapper come round the corner and I was able to share the glory with them!! to think ozedodge was giving me advice on what bait caster to buy Jan last year......18months later i own my own boat, and got myself onto a metery!! Im the happiest or luckiest?? chick alive!!

Classic pro nitro is now my faaaaavourite lure!!

Tightlines!!

Nice work there.
The metrey is proving elusive for me. Best i could manage at the Daly last week was 95. I had several hook-ups of 1M plus fish but couldn’t boat them

Far out Rammers, that's a nice fish. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Very exciting fish to watch caught - when it first launched itself I thought 'geez it's a bigun', and wasn't it just! And then to be wrapped around that snag, and have to reposition the boat, you did very well to hang onto it :clap: :clap:

Glad to have been there, all the more incentive now for me to catch one now too :grin: :grin:

thanks for the invite, had a ball down there :mrgreen:

cheers
