dirvin21 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 got out for a decent landbased session yesterday fishing the usual haunts, started off spinning the fallen trees which were a bit slow but with some persistance finally had a take probably the smallest big-eye I've ever caught.... hopefully the trevs will start to appear soon changed locations to a bit of footpath/roadside the water was crystal clear and loaded with bait monster bream everywhere looks like its going to be a good spawn year everything was very spooky..... out of nowhere some pilles start scattering not 3m from me..... instinctive cast and hook up immediately to a solid fish first thoughts were king but to my surprise a big tailor surfaced with my lure hanging from his mouth a bit nervous of his teeth with 8lb leader baced the drag off and let him tire down he seemed to be swimming with a bunch of kingies and a massive cod came out to try and the poor tailor after a good 10 minute fight he finally came ashore a qulity mid 40's tailor haven't caught a decent tailor in years a surprise for the river. It was nice to play a fish for a change rather than the white nucle stuff I've been doing lately then the pike turned up some were around 50cm mark.... not a desirable species but still fun.... I often stic with pie rahter than move on because bream will often get competative and lose a few inhibitions. moving onto the breakwall geting the usual funny looks for casting up along the side of the rocks but within a few casts a reasonable bream came out a couple of smaller fish came after including some small moses perch not a bad little session ended up catching and releasing over a dozen fish of 5 different species cheers for reading Dave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Another great report Dave. I love reading reports of how good anglers constantly change tactics and it pays off. This is largely due to them being persistent, but also a good indication that they know what they're doing. Nice work on the Tailor too Dave, not getting bitten off. Cheers, bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
