jimbojames 285 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Was on the Port river yesterday morning chasing the elusive Mulloway . Got to the boat ramp to meet a good mate Jack at 4:30am . Headed out to his spot and arrived to realise my rod was not set up properly , spew . So while the fellas cast out there lines i sat there re rigging my line . Was a bit frustrating but i have learnt in the past that this usually works in my favour . Got my line in and was waiting a bit before Jack pulled his line in to check and in doing so pulled it across my line so when i went to reel in my rig was snagged on the bottom ? Busted my line trying to reel in so had to re-rig again . Jack had two lines in and said if the one goes while i was re-rigging my line then to grab it as if it was mine . Just tied the last knot and whammo the drag leaps into screaming life and i jum u and set the hooks . Unfortunately this rod and reel only had 20lb braid on it and this was definitely a decent Mulloway and after 2 min of it peeling line and toying with my it found structure and busted me off , spew ? Baited up my lineand cast out again and about 8min later my line was getting decent nibbles so i struck and with that an eagle ray leapt over 6ft into the air before taking off like a shower of shit peeling my line from my reel a a high rate of knots . Another leap or two and i started gaining line , when i got it boat side and it took of again and then we managed to get it into an undersized net . Awesome fun and thank you heaps again Jack .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLRht9GIIDw Damien Dray, Boyington214, Jack. and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
