yakfishing Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I promised myself that after 9 straight days of work - rain, hail or shine on my one day off I would get a fish in. Well of course it's pissing down and the winds blowing a gail so I left the yak at home and cracked out the waders for a quick dip in Narra Lake on the runout. Hoping for a flatty for tea, 2 hours and hundreds of casts later the most unlikely of fish has a go at my blade. Just on 27cm, he looked too small for a feed so I let him swim. I heard it said, but only now do I believe it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Now what on earth can a green blade look like to a blackfish in the rain??? Who knows? But he liked it!! Well done YF ..... like you, I'd promised myself an outing today & foolishly went out in the yak .... and got drenched ..... all for 2 bites & no hookups!! Hope for better weather tomorrow!!

joel99 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I also caught a blackie on a blade a few months ago, wasn't green though. Maybe they like them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacky Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I also have caught blackies on blades at narrabeen lake at the end of summer last year. I couldnt believe it as i was also fishing right in the back of the lake just getting dark and got smashed by a blacky. A great fight as usual too.

slinkymalinky Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 G'day YF, It takes a really masterful touch to be able to work a blade so it behaves like weed Nice work. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakfishing Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) I also caught a blackie on a blade a few months ago, wasn't green though. Maybe they like them? Yeah, I've heared it mentioned that they are the only lure that consitently catches blackfish. They have been known to be caught on other things, but not very often.
