Hi All
Headed out with ADAMY in fantastic conditions to Mud at 4ish on Saturday morning. We tried a previously shown spot on the south for not a touch however ADAMY lost a decent fish to a 'rub off'! We then motored around to the eastern side for a look at some new found ground from last week and it also was very quiet with only a couple of little tailor coming on board. Packed up and headed off to the North East marker and finally landed the 1st keeper, a 33cm Sweetie.
AQUARIUS dropped by and told us about his success at Green (with envy, I am that is) and took off for the West. We followed and fished some marks that ADAMY had where the only hint of a fish was the one that sent my livefibre rod loaded with a Tailor fillet careering back into the rod holder like a snapback lure only to discover that my main line had snapped under the force of the hit :o ! We went back to the South and then the East where ADAMY added a 38cm Squire to the esky before a hot 5 min session on Tailor saw 4 of them in the bucket - all mid 30's!
The high came so we headed off to Green on the way home where i managed another 2 Squire at 38 & 47 and ADAMY another at 38cm before we called it quits after a long day!
While it was a magnificent day on the water, one thing is for sure and that is i need a lot more time at Mud! I know i can catch fish on plastics and i know the TMSK specials work, but knowing where is another story altogether! That is the frustrating bit! I can go to Wello confident more often than not but i'm now starting to doubt the worthiness of going all the way to Mud for an occassional 'BIG' one. I'm not one to give up easily though and i will go again but i have to get smarter about where... Gee i still have a lot to learn!!
