Hamo1234 172 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Youd think the first bag out for the winter season would bring a smile to your face. With most of the fish over 40cm I was feeling pretty good, with still enough light in the sky to get back in time to wash the boat down. I kicked the motor into gear and threw the scaling bag out. As the rope came up tense it suddenly went tense - it had snapped. No end of circling could find them. Im almost positive they would have floated. Alas, a waste of beautiful fish. Ill attempt a search and rescue in the morning. bjorn2fish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenton 637 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I never use a scaling bag for a few reasons and you have highlighted one of them. cheers b Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn2fish 4,612 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Ohhh, that sucks. I hope you can redo your bag out again soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I have a foam buoy on my scaling bag for that very reason. To lose those fish would've been devastating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
