October isn’t the best time for my type of fishing, but as it was an awesome day I decided to duck down to one of my favourite spots near Umkomaas with the Cow and clan.

I put out a bonny as bait and didn’t expect much action.

15 minutes later the game was on, but I immediately knew it was a blackfin as she was bailing out the water just like a bass does.

I have hooked plenty of these over the years and know that only about 3 in 10 are landed, as their antics normally involve them rolling up your line, breaking traces, etc, so I called the Cow and gave her the rod to enjoy the short lived experience, but after 2 minutes the shark was still on and was now emptying the reel at great speed, so I started to tighten up on the drag, which caused the Cow to squawk as she was about to go water skiing, so I took over again.

An hour later I realized that mates would be required to get this one out, so the Cow was tasked to find willing mates in the area to assist, who fortunately arrived

Is that a uniform you guys wear?

[Dewi]

Don't think we will be able to wear that uniform for our big fishing trip in 2014. It may be a tad chilly.

[Richprins]

What trip, Deli?

Quick dry stuff RP The underpants prove to be a problem though

Northern Iceland. Summer 2014. A gang of us are going fishing for a week in some spectacular scenery. Should be a good trip.

BC, think I'm gonna need some thermals in lieu of those shorts & t-shirts. -O

[Bushcraft]

Wow Dewi you are going to have an awesome trip

Do you have a hand "drill" to make a hole to fish

[Richprins]

Utterly insane!
