Submitted by tangles on Thu, 2009-06-25 21:22
went down to chinnies this arvo to get into some more of those big greenys, but didnt expect the size and amount of them after dark, every cast solid hookups, me and me m8 giz hooked about 20+ fish some felt well over 10kg especially on the alvey, giz hooked this one and it destroyed his shimano gears in his eggy, had to pull it in by hand! ooooh yeeeeee!

Some fish mate! I can feel a S-Bend trip coming on... If they're running like that at Kalbarri I have a feeling the bends will be working. I think I better upgrade to 30lb braid before I go LOL. And, buy some decent tarpons.
