early yesterday moring we went of on our boat to mosman bay. we parked there for about 6 hours and while there me and my mate took the tender of and rode around to the beaches with some soft plastics and hard bodied lures. we were fishing for about 4 hours with not even a single wack on any of the lures(apart from blowies). so we went back to our boat and started rigging up the 2 bigger rods to get prepared for the night. at about 4 we went to black wall reach. once we got there we put my deep sea (50lb mono with 150 pound wire traces) and my mates rod (25 pound mono with 50lb trace) each of us had sliding sinker rigs with a whole scalie mack on. at about 5 o'clock my rod started going of. i picked it up and once i had tightned the drag getting ready for a strike it spat it out. at this same time my mates rod went of. it did about a 6 second run and then just stopped. he said it felt like he was stuck, then he started winding and it very very slowly came towards the boat. there was no movment in the line though so we though the fish had wrapped around a branch or something and had gotten of. as it was under the boat he started lifting slowly. it came up for a while but it was still to deep to see. then it did another run stragith under the boat and out the other side. once my mate had gotten to the other side it stopped again. then he started winding again. he didnt get much line up berfore it snapped of. we were even more suprised to see the 50lb snapped and not the 25lb main line. but when we felt the line it was rough so most likley it was cut on a rock. we stayed up fishing till 1 am with not a single other run what so ever. but the crabs did destroy our baits pretty fast. i also managed a very small tailor. it was a good day and even with the loss of that fish and nothing else it was still a very good day.
