    hey, that's not a snapper

    hi all.

    finished work at lunchtime yesterday and was hanging for a fish. seemed a bit breezier than forecast but decided to go anyways. headed to mud and did a couple of plastics drifts for nought before heading for the western side and setting up camp. kicked back with a couple of cuttlefish baits out back with pea size sinkers. about 7pm and a little ratchet noise disturbed my scrabble game. wasn't the screaming alarm I usually associate with a snapper so I readied myself for a vermin battle. wasn't much of a battle at all really until it got close and I figured it was a shark. when I had it boatside I saw it was a big catty and was about to cut it off when I had a good look and realised it was a jew. don't know how many times I have had a catty look like a jew in the dark but this was the first time it was the other way round. quite chuffed and almost turned around to go home for a comfy sleep but decided to do the night. probably should have gone home as the cuttle I rebaited was still on the hook in the morning. I did get a good nights sleep anyways despite the wind kicking in and the showers around. I was glad I set up the tent. only managed a grinner on plastics for the mornings effort and packed it in early.

    tim: if you left a message in a bottle out there any other time of year there would be a fair to middling chance i'd get it. this time of year would be total fluke.

    neil: maaate, working my butt off atm. 1st booking yesterday was 7.15am. tomorrow I have 32 appointments booked from 8.30 till 5.00 and I will be lucky if I have time to scratch myself. the following 3 days will be 40 per day as I am working till 7pm. I will NOT be an early arrival for sth straddie m&g either.

    jj: sorry mate, didn't realise there was a race on... maybe you will catch up with a truckload at 1770.

    Not a chance Netty unless you give me a few dozen marks. I'm only going for the fun of it.
