Report on-board Amino
After having postponed Damien Baldwins group for several months now due to bad weather, we managed to get out..much to their relief..and I think the wait was worthwhile ;-)
Several LSD's graced the boat before the first Thornback arrived, then on his first ever fishing trip, newbie Paul Lowe landed his and Amino's first ever double figure Spurdog at 14lb 8oz. After weighing and photos the fish was returned...cracking start....
Then the Newbie struck again, this time with a 12lb Thornback..much to the disgust of the rest of the crew..and so began the banter...
Then Damien who has been wanting to catch a Smoothound for years(and hasnt stopped banging on about it) had one on and went to lift it from the water...you guessed it...plop..off the hooks at the boat...more banter ensued...
Matt Crowe had a couple of Smoothound to add to Damiens woes, best going tad under 8lb...
Next up was Colin Allaton, never had a Thornback before and pulled one in at a tad under 8lb...
Newbie struck again with a couple more Thornback before Damien hooked up with something that started taking line...after playing for about 5 minutes, a big silver fish came from the depths, (Damien got all excited thinking double figure Smoothie) and up popped this cracking Spur of 15lb 8oz(pictured)...I had to triple weigh her cos she looked and felt much bigger than the earlier fish....again she was returned after photos and swam off strongly..
A few more Thornbacks were had and some more smaller Spurs and Smoothounds, a small Bass also for Colin as well as more LSD's and then...... Matts peeler bait was picked up by something that never allowed him to catch up the slack on the uptider, bent the rod double, peeled 40lb braid off the clutch before breaking on the swivel....we will never know, but it would have been something special....
Total for the day was 9 Thornback, 6 Spurdog, 1 Bass, 4 Hounds and loads of LSD's. Cracking day, cracking banter, cracking fish :-))
