With the recent spate of shithouse weather I have been hitting a local creek with soft plastics.
The fishing is nice and consistant with the most common catch being small Jacks around the 30-40 cms mark and Barra around the 40-60cms mark.
I have lost a few nice fish here over the last few month including what would of been my fisrt meter plus Barra. I guess those are the breaks when fishing without a landing net by yourself.;D I also lost what I assume was a good Threadie by using a shitty snap lock. I will never use these pricks again
Anyway, enough rambling and a few pics. For future reference the pink singlet , white arm and sapphire ring is my missus not me;D
In 4 trips we have had about 10 jack , landed four barra (also lost 4), a nice flathead, a solo fingermark and a few trevs under the 500gram mark(real monsters)
Anyway, although nothing massive apart from one barra, it is easier then launching the boat by my self and gives a good fix until the weather improves.
Some pics of a few of the fish , one of the rock bar and one of a sea eagle giving an osprey a hard time.
Cheers,
Nick
