Black Rock 11/11/06

l could hear the surf pounding the beach as l pulled up to the car park,lt was 4am.
This will be interesting they were predicting 2m swell on the net and from what l could see it was all of that,l was ready to take up Dan's [Spooled]offer and head off to Byron Bay for a fish which has a lot more protection in the bay
But Steven and Trevor would have non of that and by the time we had the yaks down at the beach we could see a bit clearer in the dawn light.
The best spot to have a go was between the two rocks,Trev and Stev got out OK, l got there on my second atempt, every time this happens l tell my self l have to get fitter,it knocks the stuffing out of me.
The reef is about 1km out and the current was running hard [3km]
l managed to land 4 Squire by drifting SP over the reef and paddling back for another drift.
Stev and Trev landed 1 nice mac tuna each on live yakkas.don't they go hard some big runs.
l hooked up on something that just about spooled me,it peeled off 100to150m of line before it backed off a bit,at this stage the yak had picked up speed 4km,5km,6km, l was thinking how good is this 8) 8) thats when he bust me off l should have backed the drag off a bit.
The 20lb leader broke about 1m up from the hook,Dam dose'nt that piss you off.
The wind picked up from the north and we headed home, Top way to start the morning.
l think l will go home and have a nap now

Dan how did you go at Byron this morning
