He is a shocker ........ I asked MW how the shot looked " Good mate !"
"Well some probably think I should be anyhow''

Have a go at MW and Trev.....MW has a death grip on the rod...(Ya not gettin away from me ya S O B).....Once you get a small insight into MW...you will know a Techno geek he is not.......he is a great fisherman....a what u see is what u get bloke....am I right Chris

Chris,

Thanks for the additional pictures mate they are great.

You can't have too many pictures of your trips, They are your memories.

Lol, Whitey with the camera brings back memories of my deckie (who is now a golf tradgic) leaving the lens cap on, so now i have batches of trip photos that are dotted with black blanks #^*#****##*

Cheers,
John.

Spot on Whitto ..... Not a pretencious bone in his body - just look at him , he looks like he would'nt have 2 cents to rub together , he's gear could only be described as He fishes exactly how Trev showed him 12 months ago - uses nothing but black & gold / Evil minnow slick rigs ...... never ever bought a hollowbelly ..... he'll bludge mine

But all that said .... how can you knock him , his gear or technique when it is clearly working for him -

Me I like bling & The grass is always greener

Just how many fish did you get into your boat in total? Your trip just seems to keep getting better! - Richard

I'm pretty sure it was me with 14 , MW 8 & Trev 2 landed for the trip + there would have been around 20 jump / bust offs ....... so not bad hey ?

Sure is not bad Chris. 14 fish to yourself, it must have been very goog confidence building for you also as well as a steep increase in the learning curve. What do you think was the standout learning experience of this trip you can pass on?

I was expecting a tough trip , but still confident enough to catch fish.
OK ..... As for learning - I really got to see how conditions (wind direction) can change the productiveness of a location ....... however it does not stop you from catching fish !!!!
Moon phase ....... You would expect the moonrise (after sunset) to improve the bite .......... Not for us ( the fish were active & feeding prior to sunset & during the dark prior to moon rise ....... once the moon rose - boofing ceased along with the bite ......... this was a huge change to our Sept trip.
The last couple of days - we chased warmer water based on wind direction over the previous few days ......... found a 3 deg improvement & hooked / caught fish .
Expect the unexpected ... MW fished away from the point & caught fish ....... you would expect the fish to be over the shallows during the evening. ....... I threw big heavy storm shads away from the point & landed 6 - dropped 3...... mid afternoon.
As the moon waned - the bite came earlier ........ but reverted to a sunset bite in cooler conditions

As always ...... a positive mental attitude helps ( HAVE FUN !!!!!) ........ Keep casting if you think fish should be there -

There are more pieces to the puzzel ........ but
