Title: mapelane easter trip
Post by: Plugger on May 06, 2011, 12:35:03 AM: My wife and I together with two of my sons and their girlfriends went to Maps for the Easter llong weekend plus. We tried shark fishing for the first time seriously and had a hell of a time. The eds were scarce, the usual reef fish and I got a small kob. the boys friend joined us and also got a Raggie.We ended up with a tally of 5 Raggies and 1 Dusky landed. 3 snapped off in the shore break, 1 burn off and a number of hits without hook ups. Pleaae bear with me as I'm still trying to workout how to post multiple pictures
