Did a bit of a pre bash fish to check out how well they are chewing. Well the wind got up pretty early which did not agree with the toga. Did not sight a single cruising fish all day and the surface activity was reserved for turtles and boney bream only. Worked a rocky face with jackells for a 2inch bass. Moved out into the basin looking for schooled up fish. Found the usual scattered schools, but could not convince them to chew. Dad missed a good hit bottom hopping a tn50 but no joy was had from these fish for the rest of the bay. When fishing for these bass i heard a good slap under a grevilia near by, leccied over made the cast, doh braid moment. Told dad to wack one in there with a light plastic and after a couple of hops a 420 toga hooks up and makes it to the boat. Moved into Kingaham arm and tried to see if the grevilia pattern would hold, again no joy. Bashed a few trees with spinnerbaits counted into the thermocline, again no joy. So with all our usual morning strategies failing we changed tact again. I tied on a sx48 and started working the deeper banks in the warmer water. First cast and the rod loads up, some line comes off and after a bit of thrashing around in comes another toga this time going 730. Few sweet relief. We carry on fishing similar bank for one more dropped fish of similar size. The weather changed again and we moved back out into the basin looking for bass. We called it a day at about 1:30 when the heavens opened up. Other interesting occurances included several mobs of deer and a 5ft brown snake deciding to swim accross the lake.
