rickmarlin62 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Big neil and i hit the water this morning and found to our relief that the wind had died off we had a great time fishin an chattin..neil is a top bloke and im glad i took him for a run..the fishing was slow with me dropping a small flattie boatside then i finally scored a nice flattie of 65cm in really good condition..poor old neil struggled and the flatties wouldnt play..the wind turned from 3 knots westerly to 20 knots sth east and made fishing difficult we tried a few more spots for some small bream tailor and tarwhine but gave up with the wind winning the day..thanks for the day neil i hope you enjoyed yourself...rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickmarlin62 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 just disappointed I couldn't get neil onto a fish..we even went right up one of the local creeks weaving the vsea round logs to find a bass or ep..no joy at that either....at least we tried....hard time of year..cold water..17.1 dg...wind 2o knots plus...hang on..ran out of excuses...rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a great day on the water with you. You certainly know what you're doing. Nice Flattie for the day and great company. Many thanks for taking me out in your "neck of the woods". You're a real character and have a fantastic depth of fishing experience. We certainly gave it a fair go, chasing a variety of species...opened my eyes a bit to the difficulties fishing these estuaries in densely populated areas. Cheers mate, BN. Addendum: I also caught up with Stapo and he loaned me one of his Blackfishing poles. We had a good old chinwag and I met some of the other local characters. However, we had no "downs"... apparently I should have been there 3 weeks earlier. (Now they tell me)! Anyway Steve, glad you're on the mend again and it was good to catch up. Cheers, BN Addendum 2: Managed a couple of sessions with Debbie (middle daughter). We caught quite a few smallish Bream and Tarwhine and had a bit of fun. As always she caught more than I did and will forever more keep reminding me of the fact. SUCH IS LIFE, BN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
