G'day all,
Well popped the cherry this morning. After a delayed start (kids wanted to go to school :OMG) I made a late venture to secret spot x which is not so secret but anyways! New snags won the first 2 battles (I hate losing prototypes but anyway) I finally managed to crack a few. I photographed the first 2 with the camera only to find out there was no XD Card >:( however they were the smaller of the 5 that I caught :youbeauty No real size to any of the fish however I had an absolute blast.
First 4 came on Hardbodies (Crank-35) and the 5th came on a Zipper Curl tail shaker. Casting to somewhat featureless areas of the river (secret snag) a slow roll of the hardbody saw it getting nailed pretty early. Either I pinned all the majority of the fish in the school or they wised up as I never got another look in. Switched over to the SP with instant success, the biggest of the 5 taking it on the drop. Switched back to the hardbody late only to be busted up deluxe by a steam train (Bass I will say) of a fish!! Never even got to set the hook!! All in all a great morning, came home to re-rig for an arvo session.
Regards and Thanks
Colin

You did well Colin most of the the reports from your local were 1 or none.

Thanks!
You would not believe how obvious spot x was though! Obviously below the NPD wall but very easy to get to. I went back in the afternoon and lost 1 good one near the bank and missed 2 other good bites! That whole system seems to be in prime condition, I spotted bait schools by the dozen feeding up in the shallows, which kind of makes lure selection pretty easy! Will give it a rest over the weekend and shoot for a couple more midweek ventures.
Thanks again
Colin
