No net or gaff...Sounds like one of my trips but it is always the way eh? If you take them you don't need them. Good report and you did well to get out there by yourself not to mention to be having a fish while I had to work Regards Scott

Kev,
Lucky you didnt have brejen with you, he has lost my reef anchor and 100mts of rope and thrown my sea anchor over and not tied it to the boat and watched it sink out of sight.
You were lucky, you only left the gaff and net at home.

First of all who's bloody New reef pick was it. Seconds who's damm bow roller cut the rope. And that bucket that you called a sea anchor well that had to go so i could buy you a proper one for Fathers day.Originally Posted by gawby

What a picture! No Luck chewin' through a piece of raw squid!Originally Posted by no_luck
No one took the gaff and net out of the boat! They just jumped out themselves Tryin' to get anyone in my madhouse to own up to anything is almost as hard as getting Playboy to put a nude picture of Amanda Vanstone on their middle spread

THAT WAS A CLASS REPORT 10 OUT OF 10,THANK YOU
Bought the clip today, another 100m of rope and a new reef pick.........already had a ball that I found floating in the Rous. Not that the lifting will be any easier if the bugger's snagged anywayOriginally Posted by longtail
The kids had smashed into a table that was at the poolside. It was one of those glass top ones that sell with two chairs for 99 bucks............the glass shattered! Cut a (hollow) leg off the table, stuck it on the reef pick prongs and bent them into shape beautifully Will cut off another leg and keep it in the boat All I've got to do now is remember to keep the gaff in the boat too

I feel for you Kev.
Sounds exactly like 10 different days I've had . I call them learning days.
I haven't lost an anchor since I got the ball puller but I have brought up some nasty twisted looking metal things that were anchors, and can take an hour of brute force a big hammer and a vice to get back into shape.
Watch out for when the rope slips under the boat and the prop cuts it. Mine always cuts it neat and never twists around the prop which makes for a good splice position.
I have splice depth markers at 38, 57 and 73 feet but the clip can still run over them so it does not affect ball retrieval.
Keep the learning coming and good luck next time

nice sunrise
enough fish for a feed

Kev,
I said to brett a few months ago ill have to buy a reef pick. Dont bother he said i dont want this old one YOU CAN HAVE IT.
So now he says he lost his pick, dosnt that make him an INDIAN GIVERRRRR.
Didnt say sorry about the 100mts of rope at the bottom of the pacific.
Now the bucket. My missus would have killed me if i had lost it but no, its alright brett dont worry about it.
My missus bought it at a garage sale being an old type gal bucket that she thought was thre bees knees. Carnt hold water in the boat with a sae anchor. they have holes on the bottom.
Oh well, son out laws, ?
Graeme

Next time you feel like painting such a vivid mental picture, keep the brushes packed away, eh?
Good luck,
