Last night I decided to go for a bit of a fish and flick Sp's on the start of the run-in. I arrived at my first destination and threw a softie into the eddy at the base of a bridge pylon. Within seconds I was on. I pulled the fish up and was impressed by the red colours. He was only small and I took a few pics and threw him back. I fished for another 30min and picked up 2 pan sized flatties and then had to leave to pick my mate up.
After having dinner and sitting round bored I decided to get the start of the run-out. I went to a different spot and flicked sp's around. I caught another 3 flatties and 5 small gt's before I noticed a school of strange looking fish swimming around. They were chasing small prawns near the surface. I flicked my sp into the school but they would not repond and soon disappeared. They kept popping up and disappering for 15min untill I noticed they were very jack looking. I kept throwing my sp at them getting very frustrated as they weren't interested. I tried every retieve I could think of.
I threw once more and my sp landed about 20m away. As i was retrieving the school matierialised out of nowwhere and I tried another tactic. As my sp rounded past the school one followed slowly. All of a sudden the whole school rushed, shouldering each other to get at my sp. It was heart in mouth watching 6 jacks take off after my lure. :o I finally hooked up and landed a nice little jack. I took a photo and a nice guy on a bike took some more for me.
After another hour I had caught another 2 trevs, a few bream, and too many pike so I went to bed.
