Re: new rod, quick session.
Nice gooing eeler and good to hear that you have christened the new rod already.
Sounds like a great session with Bass, Codling, eels and Flounder all in one session, especially the Bass to 7lbs.
Still looking for my first Bass this year, but I am sure it wont be long.

Re: new rod, quick session.
ha ha oh right, i get it now, i think your winding me up, are you. did i not see a report with you with a "6lb" schoolie in your kitchen not too long ago, either ways dosn't matter as all bass were released without harm, not because im mad about c&r or c&k, they way i see it, if your fit to catch it you can do what you want with it, i just wouldn't be mad about the taste of them, their o.k every now and then.big fish wrote:great man good fishing did you have to kill the Bass a sure your plumters mate alright he is a good man for killing Bass also we will have to take up a new sport soon
the title of the picture of the bass said " bass double" meaning i caught them both at the same time, they both went back grand. dont know what made you think they were dead. the codling on the other hand wasn't so lucky, he needed the panadol.
