Was quietly minding my own business near the last channel marker at Boonooroo the other day when something went tap-tap on the end of my line.
Not usually one to worry about such things, I was galvanised into action by the sudden need of my fishing rod to jump overboard.
hmm I thought, a fish perhaps?
sudden thoughts of beer batter and peer envy flooded through me as I "set the hook"
mind you , all this achieved was to turn the rod into a ubolt shaped piece of fibreglass/composite.
hmm I thought, maybe a big fish?
a sudden scratchy/ratchety noise started,
hmm I thought, maybe a monster fish?
20 minutes later a shape emerged from the green depths,
hmm I thought, is that a FIN!!
another 10metres of line is recovered and yes indeed it is a fin.
Attached to a what appears to be an angry shark.
hmm I thought, do I want all of those teeth inside the boat?
It was good my mate cut the line,
But its even better that I can remind him of it. :wink:

Sounds like a fishy story to me mate :wink:

mate ,unless you where in a 14 ft tinny and the monster was at least 20 ft , have you not heard of towing the monster by the tail to drown it???? A waste of good flake if ever i heard 8O :x [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

I would have expected Ferno to jump into the briny and take on the beast Queensbury rules. 8O

Maybe it was a pool shark [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Off fishing myself this weekend.

Camping on the beach and hopefully catching our meals as we need them.
Out of the water and into the coals.

If not I have packed the can opener just incase. :wink:
