Decided to head out with the wife, bub and a friend visiting from down South for a lash at jagging a Powertail.
Headed to a well known haunt and met up with 10 other boats, including 2 Pro Jewy boats getting ready for the night ahead.... (if you want the Co-ords send me a PM)
Anyway- rigged up the horse rods and got them down on the bottom. The wife 'Belin' dropped 2 good ones early when trying to juggle bub at the same time.... The bait pickers then came in and nearly skun us of bait... Caught a couple for punishment and gave them a swim on the hook.
Bang.... I was on, after a great session of back excercise I finally won the battle and the big silver bugger flapped about on the floor....
Belin then made up for her bad start when her 30kg rod bent in half and jolted her into action - there were cries of a jew!- but luckily another beaut Powertail landed safely in the boat.....
Emma then landed her first fish ever - and what a memorable moment it was - the 10 pnd Powertail will remain etched in her thoughts forever. Emma didn't stop there - she soon followed in quick concession with another.....
With 4 big Powertails landed and safely released to fight another day we decided to head back to the harbour (had to go to work)....
It was well worth the fuel money and the cost of the bait, I'll do it all again next week I hope....
Cheers
TIMBO...

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
If I can't be a good example, then I will just have to serve as a horrible warning...

Don't bother dending me the co ords for your pt spot Cos I was there yesterday, the biggest fish to the boat were pts and the pickers drove me mad.
My mate in another boat did manage a couple of jew though.
