Last minute decision pays off..


Recommended Posts

My oldest son and I have been hanging out to get the new look bertram of ours on the water and catching and relaxing..a last minute decision as the winds droped off seen us heading to Ardrossan. There was 8 trailers in the park and no pros wich was met with delight.we gathered our bait ..at ardrossan port jetty wich was a heap of slimy macks..we waited till around 100pm till we headed to my drops and look for signs of fish..first drop 4 km of ards no sign of fish move to the next drop south of ards called sarges..no sign of fish ..i was getting a little worried.so we headed to the combyvan ..was small fish around but i was looking for larger specimens. So of to my favorite drop mussle bed/lacounrues...as i was 200ft from the mark...the sounder lite up and the adrenaline was pumping i marked the fish on the sounder. we didnt even drop anchor. My son had a bait in the water withing seconds ..i droped my bait in staight away within 30 seconds double hookup of reds.. screaming drags i had my fish to the boat first so it was a little hard netting your own fish but managed ..hooks out put the fish back ..and hepld my son net his fish wich was a lovely looking fish with a big lump on it head .Fish returned quickly..back over the fish wich hadnt moved much..baits down bang on again. With big head shakes and power runs. Just luv it..fish boated and returned..the fish had moved a little and looks like we broke the school up ..we anchored up and mannaged another 4 bigish fish around 5kg then was swarmed by good sized ruggers .Resized_20161224_010005.jpegwas back at the ramp before sun up and the heat started..but pleased with the 5 hour session will be over again soon in searh of that larger fish..
