GregL Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 What a funny day! With good fishing, great company and a shed load of banter it couldnt have been much better! Stewy and I met out at Richards house at 4am for the drive up to Thommo's. With the drive and walk of the eastern shore line out of the way it was very noticable that the dam had dropped by a good 2m since our last venture up there. Even during our days fishing you could see that it was still dropping. The fishing was good with some nice fish straight up, toughed it out through the midday slow bit then powered on into the evening. We all dropped fish, pulled hooks, missed hook ups n lost crackers. One fish that will haunt me was a brown that looked like a legal king as it rolled around at my feet before it bit through my 5lb leader. On it's first jump I almost crapped my pants, if it wasn't for the fact that I had just released a half pound brown up the bank 10 min earlier it could have been a different story! (spots and all from to much passionfruit the night before) How's this for cool sh1t, 13hrs of fishing to be all tied up at 6 all with 10 mins to go. Each have hook up, fight a bit and all pull hooks! WTF I cast get bit and miss, I wind in and these two get a double hook up to finish off a cracking day on the trouts! Ya don't mind missing out in glory with wins like that! Enjoy it fellers, till NEXT trout adventure! Here is a little video of Stewy on a rainbow..... Here are some pictures of the day Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolforjesus Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Sounds like you Guy's had an awesome day, Congrats. How many fish did you guys get between you for the day? Im a regular up at Thommo's, please please please please tell me the new secret spangled lure/technique you've been using!!! Much appreciate your intel, Chris Edited February 15, 2012 by foolforjesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregL Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Thanks guys and Stew for putting the pix up... Chris we scored 20 fish to the bank and it had to be close to triple that in bites! The gun lure was the good old 3" Bass Minnow. I used 3 colours and all got bit so I don't think that makes a difference. When the fishing is good they will eat it on the drop or ripping it back. When the fishing is slower, slow ya speed down..... Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Great stuff fellas!! That report brings back some fond memories. There are some huge trout in there & if you put the effort in the rewards are worth it. I would have loved to have been there. Cheers, Grant.

foolforjesus Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Thanks Greg, 20 fish!!! That's mental.I've never had anything close to that in a day fishing at Thommo's. I will certainly give that Lure a go.I'm heading up on Saturday, so hopefully the fish will still be on.

flycaster Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hi Guys An absolutely AMAZING dat!!! In all the years I have fished at TCD, I've never looked like catching any mo0re than one or two in a whole day. They were all a great size too. I will have to get up there soon and try to hook a monster. Great work Regards Flycaster (Ross) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
