1st Garrick of the Season

1.15m Garrick

I was luck absolutely blessed to catch the first Garrick on our stretch of the coast.  It was around midday and everybody had packed up or gone home already as it was a blistering hot day and we had all been on the rocks since the morning.

I was busy chatting to my friend Lucky when he screamed, ” Shane your rod, Shane your Rod”

Next thing….bbbzzzzzzzzzzzz   Fish on ——->

What an awesome experience to catch such a magnificent specimen of Garrick (Leervis) and that it was the first of the season made it extra special.

• Rod – 14ft Purglass 380/4 Custom by Gremline
• Reel – Daiwa Grandwave 50
• Line – Double X 0.55   (no braid backing)
• Bait – Live Shad
• Trace – Carbon coated wire, with back to back Size 8 hooks and a treble trailer hook.

Here is Garrick number two for the season
