Another blackfish report

[Ryder]

Hi Raiders,

I've been out of action fishing wise, due to some pretty scary back pain.

What started as a crick soon became spasms which would last 30 seconds.

I had to be driven home from work, laid up and drugged up for the weekend.

I could walk a bit, sort of looked a bit like this.

I knew the boys would be going off the rocks but I just couldn't risk it.

Then my wife came down with exactly the same thing.

Doctor thought it could be related to a rib injury she sustained in Fiji, but now we think it's viral.

I chose a secluded little spot and fished with the wind to my back. It started slow but then the odd down.

It would go down and come back up. I was using weed as bait and thought ' cabbage eaters '

I made the switch and ended up with 4 in the bag, 2 dropped at my feet, and a heap of misses.

So the fish are coming back into the harbour, but they are a little selective about the bait.

I like black fish reports Ryder I can relate to them. A few were caught on the wall over the weekend as well but they're there one day gone the next.

Sorry to hear about your back I can relate to that as well.

A few years ago I was fishing the wall the perch were going off I done my back and fell in a heap on the ground. I couldn't move just laid there on the grass the boys were just kicking me a bit because I was in the way. No sympathy.

Finally the fish stopped biting and they carried me to my car.

Got to get your priorities right I suppose they were good fish.

I've fished and prawned with a tens machine and Back brace. Been carried out of the lake in the middle of the night with my waders on. Ha I couldn't get them off to drive home.

Anyway hope your better now Andrew.

Cheers Steve.
