2 rocks report
My first trip out of 2 rocks didn't prove too successful on Friday. Started with losing sunnies over side in the marina. First drop on a lump with a good show on the sounder with new smith mejume jig resulted in a lost jig to a sambo. Had a bit of fun with the sambos for a while and then headed out deeper. 20nm offshore after a baldie came over the side by my deckie I decided to Ike jime him with the wrong tool. A filleting knife!! All I can say is OUCH! Sliced straight thru finger, cutting tendons, nerves and scraping the bone! Many a swear word and plenty of blood spilt on the deck was occurring. Luckily I had recently updated my medical kit so all wrapped up and panadol accompanied by beer and I carried on fishing. Not good idea. To cut a long story short I have just overnighted at the hospital with an operation by plastic surgeon to repair tendon and nerve damage!
Moral of this story. Don't Ike jime with a filleting knife to save time in looking for the right tool!

Sounds painful mate. If
Sounds painful mate.
If there's one guarantee in fishing (and you're on board), it's that you will spike/cut/hurt yourself with something sharp, belonging to you, or the fish . hehehe
least you had some fun on the sambo's
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

Unfortunately
Unfortunately you are probably right. Have been known to hook a finger instead of fish! Pain just starting to kick in bad! Bugger
