tyrone07 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 So finishing up some work training Thursday and the weekend off I thought I would take the wife on an adventure north to Lake St Clair for an exploratory mission and a quick fish. With very limited freshwater experience I was stoked the wife hooked and netted a cracker bass off the top all on her own. With only a few smaller rats I was stoked with the result being the first time up there. Today I hit the local chucking vibes and plastic and managed to land a cracker lizard in 8 meters of water on a zman paddlerz, 3/8tt jig head. All up landed 9 Lizards with my mate which were all released. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missus will come fishing if I have tidied the garage, the sheds, my filing cabinet in the study, got the gardens looking schmick, painted the house, vacuumed and mopped the floors, cleaned the bathrooms and the kitchen, done the laundry and hung it on the line, made the bed, etc. I fish solo quite a bit! 😂 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the biggest hurdle for my mrs is the early wake up....she is not a morning person 😂😂 Perhaps i should offer up an afternoon session instead.

Yowie Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Nice fish there. My wife says I swear too much when I lose a fish, so her fishing rod is almost brand new though many years old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankS Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Mate that's a cracker bass, what about 45cm ? and on a popper that's sensational for StClair, one of my favorite places to be, congratulations to your better half and thanks for sharing with us. The Flat is not a badun either. Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
