[PIE GUTS]

Went out to the beloved Dam on Friday with high hopes of catching the Big One as I have it on the best Authoritry that the weekend before Easter is the no. one time for the Cod to start biting. Well let me just say that this weekend was obviously the exception. On Friday the old boy and I worked the back reaches of the dam with every kind of lure you could imagine, the only fish we caught was a Yella on a spinner bait. After casting until we could cast no more we threw it in.

Got up on Saturday morning with a renewed enthuisiasm, slipped up to the shop for a can of drink before we started, was met by Brian at the kiosk who asked how we went and after telling him of our disappointing result, he said that lures were not the go because the water was still a bit dirty and that shrimp were the go.
After aquiring some shrimps we headed out for some bait fishing and it proved to be the go. We only got about 9 Yellas and 2 catfish on Saturday, but it just shows it pays to listen to the locals as they usally know whats happening.

And as usual had a good time and picked a good weekend because it was not crowded and the weather was good.
