Orange Rocks delivers Andre’s New Years Gift.

I was scratching a couple of hundred metres north of Orange Rocks and I saw someone go tight off Orange, so I went home across the road and grabbed my camera and my lightie, to go and show him what I thought was a shark.

We got there just as Andre landed a skate of about 60-70kgs in gully on the right. Micky and Leon were down, assisting in the landing and getting soaked in the process. Andre was sweating, but smiling from ear to ear and rightly so…. this is a fantastic catch to start the new years off with.

Bait was a shad fillet on slide.

Actually to think about it, Andre has had a damn good December, catching a number of very large shad – put in the time and you get your rewards.

Happy New Year Everybody – Tight Lines !!

Andre and his magic carpet.
