Mr Dalucius Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Lyn and I arrived about 1.30 pm on Sunday and met up with fellow raider's who had already settled into their bungalow and were rigging their rods ready for the afternoon's fishing. We decided we wouldn't fish until Monday morning, so set about unpacking and settling in, rigging rods and just taking it easy. The others got back just on dark and they all caught fish, telling us where the fish were and what was the go to lure and colour. After a good feed, cooked up by Smithy, and a few fishing stories we called it a night. We all hit the water early and headed off in search of some fish. We had a slow start and it wasn't until the afternoon session that we caught a few decent bass. On Tuesday we got onto a few fish, I caught my PB yellow belly @ 43cm which hit hard on a purple spinner bait while casting around the trees in the bay where the second concrete ramp is. Two other fish came to the boat following my fish but nicked off when they saw us. About an hour later I caught my PB silver perch @ 48cm on the same spinner bait around tall timber on the other side of the same bay. The weather wasn't on our side this year with wind and rain cutting our trip short. We tried a few surface lures with no success this year. Thanks to Stewy and Smithy for doing the shopping on Saturday before we left, we ate like kings. It was good to see Johnno again and meet Steve for the first time, hope you come again next year to keep Stewy on his toes. Also to Pete [ tide n knots], your keener than me to fish in those conditions, hope you got on to the fish after we left. Thanks again for the company, until Glenbawn 2012, see you there, hope the weather is better. Lyn and Geoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tide'n'knots Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) good on you geoff, a couple of pbs certainly make it all worthwhile. thats a cracker of a silver perch! Maybe next time I might be a little bit luckier with the weather and hopefully I can crack a decent yellowbelly! It was great to catch up with everyone even if I wasnt very successful on the fishing! pete. Edited November 28, 2011 by tide'n'knots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
