mangus Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Also all fish were caught on skirted lures 6inch to 12 inch you could have thrown any thing at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem-pecker Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Well done guys. I was out with the birds just inside you guys about lunch time and had been following a great school of them since 8am running a 5spread without a strike. Called it a day when one of my TOP GUN fishing buddy's was throwing up an old boot he swallowed as a kid. I can't bring my self to even lough now knowing how close I could have been to a day like yours. Congrats on such a fruit-full day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dfishin Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Unbelievable. Maybe they are starting to jump on the lures instead of just looking at them or not even taking any notice of them. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
