Cheers fellas . This one was tagged and released and really if i was to keep one for the table i have heard you want ones up to 10 kg , but this is only what i have heard . I never thought it was a ray as i have caught plenty of them and the fight was a lot different . Eagle rays run and smooth rays just bury themselves . Completely different to a fish fighting on the end of your line .

Awesome fishing ,thats a horse .Found it interesting the tackle ,Ugly Stick gold and Fin nor reel probably a 300 dollar combo,  that looked to handle the situation more than admirably.

If you watch the fishing shows,the twankers that host them would have you believe the only tools for the job are 2 and a half grand Stellas,T Curves,Saltiga setups ect,go figure. Jimbos Sampson  goes to show a top fisho with  the skills and right presentation  can utilise what tackle he has at his disposal to  tame any beast out there . B)

Great video Jimbo, just the shot in the arm needed in this miserable weather.   Speaking of weather, you struck it lucky on that day, absolutely perfect.

Great looking charter boat, some great fish and nice to see someone (you) knows which side to put the reel handle  :)

I think I will have to put sampson fish on the to do list form my son and I this summer  ;)

Cheers

Rod

The rolling swell that was going underneath us is not visible but was about 4-6m buuuuttt the chop was nothing and was quite comfortable out there . That is correct Rod , i fish\am right handed with my rod in the right hand .

      Been playing around with my 3.3hp outboard for the Canoe (aka Mully Magnet) . I had a broken thread on the motors original tank but i also wanted a bigger tank as it is really hard to re-fill the little 1.5ltr tank while you are bobbing around on the water . So what i have done is i put a fuel line in with primer bulb and fuel pump to a T piece and then a fuel return for the pressured fuel so it doesn't blow the carby apart and then a feed near the carby to draw fuel that it needs from the third part on the T . Works a treat and i cant wait to give it a crack . All i need to do now is replace the original fuel gauge and fuel outlet plate with a plate for my fuel in and out . I have bought the proper bits for the fuel plate with quick release connectors . Both different so one is only in and the other out and cannot be connected wrong . I should have enough range to get to England and back now . lol . This was also way cheaper than buying a new tank but as mentioned it will be a lot easier out on the water .

      Did my good deed last week and volunteered for the Recfish , Reef design lab and Charles Sturt council Artificial reef deployment and construction for West Lakes . Was an interesting first day at the council putting the reefs together and even tho the 6 volunteers were split into 2 groups for two time slots i ended up staying and helping out for the whole day . They went together fairly easily and was interesting to be so hands on . Some extra tools would of been handy but we managed with what we had , lol . I took the camera along to get some footage of the second day being the deployment of the 12 Reefs which sat at different levels in the water , they were also put in 4 groups of 3 and hopefully this will encourage the fish to be more mobile between the  reefs . Also had my go pro for some underwater footage and i hope to get back for some updates on growth over the next couple of years . Any way , i hope you enjoy the video .
