Do I see a plastic comming out of the catty's mouth Vertico (considering that is what you usually use)? If so, you are a legend, never heard of that before. That is a serious catty for open water in the bay shurely.

cheers

chrisso, was taken on 3" dropshots in watermelon on 4kg spin gear behind green island.
Was trying to burley up some grassy sweetlip and squire but caught around 5 of these buggers instead. That photo is from a few months ago.
