brilient news!!

[Norfolkboy]

again, great news and i hope you catch many, many more

how far out were the baits? and how long did it take to get in?

[Ben]

the bait was about 30m out i would say (prob less btu im no good at guessing distances) and up untill about 15m it was easy but then they started fighting and acouple of meters out they both just kept on swimming up n down the beach with me following them running

[Norfolkboy]

bet it was great, gotta hook me 1 of those!!

we had a good run of the smutts about a month ago, some into double figures but i never got out to fish for them, hopefully they'll turn up again soon

[Ben]

well i hope these are here still tomorrow cause im going again, gonna get some more hermit crabs and take some scales along with me
