Testing Outriggers

[brickman]

hey raiders went for a troll this morning to test some outriggers i made for my 5 meter cuddy cabin

started at south head and trolled to bondi for zip but had a fair bit happening on the sounder at north bondi so did a few laps and had my first strike on the out riggers

what a rush ping goes the rubber band and the reel start singing first fish a fat ass sambo then the skipping garfish gets smashed next lap on the uther rigger but no hook up

trolled back to south head for zip then over to north head for 2 bonito

next stop the fad for zip then did a driftfrom the fad back to north head for way to many sargent bakers

called it a day and went home before the midday rush at whalf road

highlight was getting a good fish[cat food]on the outrigger but a close second was watching my mate fall in the water at whalf road pontoon arms going like propellers and the slow fall backwards what a crack up

cheers gary

First things first Gary....the misfortune of others is always first. especially if its your mates. The bonus was the fish.
