Sat 18 Oct.
Arrive Flinders @ 5:00am, Car park half full. and the Hogs are back. But still I manage to find myself a spot to cast out 1 hand line and 1 rod.
Actually overheard somebody saying they have been there since 9:00 pm Friday, which can only mean hogs were there before him.
Anyhow, Great day to be out, even if your not catching.
Come ~8:00am I was serioulsly thinking about packing it in as it was very quiet when I heard something bouncing on the peir.
I looked across, and saw another guy and thought he was just going about his own.
But still I heard this noise, I re-cast out my rod, & walked up to my hand line and found the source. Line was being pulled out at a steady but slow pace and Yep I was on.
Cut a long story short managed to pull up a 2 KG specimen. Adrenolen still pumping, all of a sudden my brother yells "your other line is on" over I run and take in another 1 kg specimen.
Being a quiet morning I also had a crowd behind me (hogs were looking and passing comment too).
I guess success is the sweetest revenge.
