I'm not sure if anyone read the thread, but I had a leave pass coming my way for either last weekend or the weekend previous. At that stage the tides looked very dubious for the first weekend according to my forming theory on which tides work in the Pine River but like a kid with a lolly I couldn't help myself. So off I went to wade Hayes and Saltwater Creek with a bloke I know, Martin, with predictable results not a touch for 6 hours of throwing soft plastics. Talk about bummed out, although we did see some great features and fantastic flathead lies. While walking we talked some and formulated a slightly improved plan of attack for the next weekends new moon tide phase.
During the week I worked on the "love of my life" to get another leave pass as the tides looked soooooooo much better, with predictable results not a touch. Apparently a hair dressers appointment and lunch with the girls and shopping is soooooooooo much better, bugger!!!!
With Saturday committed to work and Sunday committed to looking after the little bloke life was looking fairly grim on the fishing front. Talked with a few people I knew and everyone was getting out there, Martin hit Hayes again Sat. to test the upgraded plan of attack. He rang in the afternoon to check in, not to see if I could get out, just to make sure I was still in the office,"I'll see you soon he tells me."
Fifteen minutes later he pulls up to show me the two fish he kept for a feed, the plan worked and he had brained it getting some good fish on sp's. While I'm jealously looking at the two flatties, my phone rings and suprise, suprise it's Brandon H he's just getting started for the day one bream and a 61cm flathead in the boat and recorded for posterity with the camera (hopefully he'll post some piccy's today :)).
That was me gone, I couldn't walk for fear of tripping over my bottom lip. :( :( Any way here's Martin's household dinner both around 50cm for the record.
