Awoonga report Fri/ Sat..8/9 July

[Awoonga]

Went to my local tackle shop the other day to get my favourite Squigies Shock ...horror...They had run out !!!Now this salesman allways sells me something... Most times l dont need it ...Anyway he tells me that the Tsunami Pro SPs are the go..yea yea...Heard it all before.. But ...yes you guessed itl bought a packet Went out Friday Water was cold 17.3 to 18 c Now first cast and l am on....18 fish in about a hour...Now dont get excited they where all ...... :'( catfish... Caught 1 barra 65 cm ..So l thought yes they are all the go if you want to catch caties But thought that a would try another spot today but with a small modification to them. What l did was heat up the tail and stretch it a bit ...so it hangs down..So you get some tail movement in the water What a difference that makes ;D...it fact l ran out of Sps...5 Barra ...lost four also lost the biggest Saratoga that l have ever seen ....He was a monster....So now l am hooked on them .... seems he was right after all....

Interesting what you have done with the tail there mate, a while ago i bought some tsunami pink shads for flatties and have caught a few on them but i do believe if they had more tail action they would catch twice as many fish. They seem stiff with little action, i may try to melt the tail an see how i go. Those catfish are bloody pests, gets you going for a second.. barra! ...
