Thanks to Smithy (SQCS) I had a bunch of firsts today
1. My first beakie boated
2. sons first beakie (15 yr old)
3. first fish tagged for me
4. first time my plaited doubles held together in anger...... (finally got them sorted out)
If that wasn't good enough, also got my PB wahoo which was a snodger, and then more beakies.
Learned heaps from Smithy (thanks very much), and now have validated my addiction these pointy nosed beasts
cheers

That really is a good turnout considering the weather didn't look all that good today. I suppose the fish would have been hungry after the shortage of others out there feeding them.
Top Hoo

nah mate, despite best efforts and lots of money spent and heaps of different charters in hot spots around the world, they had always eluded me.
Time to do it on my own now to really claim runs on the board, but thanks to all the coaching given by Smithy I am feeling very confident now. I can see now where I was making some pretty silly mistakes before.
cheers

G'day Mick
Well done on all those firsts & PB....would have been very satisfying indeed, esp having young fella hookin up as well.;D
Good pics to.
Always good to get a few tips from the boys in the know.
Been tryin to boat one of these speedsters recently but no joy yet.:(
We managed to hook a marlin near the Cape recently but no Hoos

Mick,
Congrats on the first. The first is the first no matter how they come.
I wonder how many virgins Rob has blooded now. Sorry for the bad analogy but he really is making dreams come true for a lot of people.
