erroll Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hey Raiders, A quick post to celebrate my first perch (36cms) that I extracted from the Macquarie River at Dubbo. Took the family out to the zoo, young kids..... what can I say. I did take couple of lighter rods and cruised a couple of the tackle stores there for the right lures... Well, I spent a few bucks again, tossed them around for nil. Decided it was time for a bit of bait with a running sinker on the bottom, so put some earth worms on...waiting...waiting... no good. Thought I would try something desperate, so without my normal tackle box, I put on an empty plastic M&M tube half filled with water to make it stand up right in the water as a float. A good cast next to some big trees in the river and got wacked!! A brief fight and a little but of line pulled of the 4000 twinpower (i know a little heavy, but they said there was cod over there) and landed this baby.. Very pleased, improvisation and new locale, chuffed!!!! Cheers Erroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erroll Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 thanks guys, not normally a fresh water fisho, except for the annual trip to Southland for the big trout. Was a good experiment and will try do a bit more of it around Sydney from time to time. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
