Coddy Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hi all Launched at Christchurch for the first time and what a nice slipway it is. Meet up with Neo and Stingray crew at the slip and we all helped each other which was great. After a nice cruise down the river we headed out to meet Stingray for some mackeral bashing but we could not seem to find any. (nothing unusal there for us) We then went off to X-ray where we did manage to get some mackeral. Had a quick call to Neo who was at the Ledge so we shot off over there but went out too far and missed them but it seems they were heading for X-ray so we must have crossed each other somewhere. We went back and all meet up for some better mackeral bashing. Neo then took us out to another mark which was very slow to begin with but then the fish started to feed and we were getting Bream, doggies, Blonde and thornback ray. Neo then said he was going Wrasse bashing so we again tagged along and soon got into the wrasse. After the comp time ended we went out to Christchurch ledge for Bass drifting but had no luck so we headed in to meet Dawn Raider coming in as well. With so many boats comming in and out it was a little busy to say the least and yachties seem to want to sail in such tight confines, why? For us on Sammy, we had a good day with good company from other club members and had FUN. We did not have the numbers for winning a comp but it was good to get fish again after what seems such a long time of barren catches. Thanks again to Paul D and nice to meet up with the others.

Paul D Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 No problem Dave, I am, arguably, a walking advert for the benefits of the fishing club. If I went back two years I would never dream I would be helping others to get into fish !! Glad it all worked out and the fishing wasn;t too bad in the end on what was a pretty hard fishing day I thought. Now I need to find out where James's secret huss mark is cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Glad to see that you were having a good day Ours was frustrating Wish I could say we were not trying and were just enjoying the weather but we were up and away early and tried hard all day for mediocre results [C~~p really] Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swainiac Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Jack, we anglers have buckets full of patience. If it were that easy, it wouldnt be called fishing, it would be called catching!! Dont give up. Rich PS..........The bass in my picture was borrowed from Jimbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
