Hodgey Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi all, We spent four weeks 'frying' down in Victoria over the Christmas/New Year break. The heat was often accompanied by very strong winds, making it virtually impossible to contemplate fishing. We did manage to get a couple of sessions on Cairn Curran chasing the reddies, and bought home a great feed of fish for all the family. The notable catch for the trip was the young bloke landing his first freshwater fish on soft plastics. He wound up with five redfin and was very pleased with his efforts. We were using 1/6oz jigheads and 75mm Squidgy Fish in Killer Tomato. Back home now and getting back into the saltwater scene again. Spent some time with Deno poppering the flats and managed to find some nice fish. Boat traffic is still quite heavy although the visitors are expected to take off this weekend. 72cm - released Longest fish measured 39cm The usual issues effected the fishing -when there was no wind the fish were hard to find, but as soon as the wind sprung up across the water, they became active and were hitting the poppers regularly. 75mm poppers that are predominately clear were the most productive. With minimal rain and moderate temperatures for much of the previous few months, the water is relatively clean and clear so long casts retrieved briskly are the order of the day. Here's hoping for a bumper year this year! Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
