River 2 Mud,where were the fish

[chief]

Well it wasn't a bad weekend for the river to mud but where were the fish.It wasn't through the lack of hardy souls out there chasing .Both the baitboys and plastic brigade found it tuff.Myself and Garrett had a 4 hour stint on saturday arvo and put another 3 1/2 hours in this morning for a small result.We scored a few bream over that time and kept a couple to weigh in, but 27-29 cms pulled them up. Also we could only pull an ocassional undersized squire until garrett managed a 42 cm model. They were so finicky ,we kept fishing light until I blew my chance on a better fish that busted me up on a 6bl leader. You could cry when you keep plugging away and when it happens you blow it .Thank god I did have a 63 cm lizard take a likeing to my lure so he made his way to the weigh in.Garrett also hooked up on what looked like a cracker bream in the shallows this morning but again lady luck was not with us and he had leader knot failure. Not a happy boy So with our fibble result we still had done enough to take home a prize each . BUT putting all that aside,the best thing was meeting a few new faces and seeing a few old.Thats what makes it such a great social event.BIG thumbs up to the organisers and thank you . On another note, hope you got home alright Chris.Poor buggers maiden voyage and had engine problems. You'll be right when you sort it out,apart from that bad luck mate thats one slick looking rig Cheers

You boys shop at the same shorts shop ? LoL, not hard to see Chief Jnr in the making.
You guys do well in the river, so don't be too hard on yourself, I never get out for a fish, so I'd be rapt to get the tally you had on a good day.
That Lizard is a beauty mate.

Well done chief and Garrett. A couple of quick sessions landed you both some nice fish and a couple of prizes as well. Unlucky about the knot failure.

Cheers

Yeh Pete, I think he would have liked that fish to be a 42 cm bream not a squire

I was actually going to write that in my first post....'Bet he would be happy if it was a 42cm Bream'.....HA!

Yes that would have been nice!
