I go away for a few days and the forums get busy busy!
Decided to take a few days off to pursue a spot of lure fishing and to christen my new kayak - picked it up a week before and itching to get out on the salty stuff!
Weather was pretty settled on Thursday morning - up at 6am to get things sorted on teh yak - took me a while to get it setup the way I wanted then launching which was pretty quick tbh. Went out from Warfleet as it is a nice sheltered cove - plenty of nooks and crannys at the top of the river to sling some plastic around!
Wind was getting up so I decided to play it safe and stick inside the river mouth - swell was getting up to around 3 feet at the mouth and I didn't want to go OTT...
Result! snagged 3 schoolies - biggest was a right fatty scrapper!
Decided to call it a day as I was hungry and needed breakfast but pleased as punch to get a few fish - opening up my November account!
Main killer was an IMA MD110 in red/yellow and fished slowly and gently - all three fish were very tentative gentle plucks ... rather than turbo charged snatches.
Went out on the rocks on friday morning - conditions were less than ideal but decided to give it a go in the rain ... couple of hours and working a variety of coves decided to give it up and come back for breakkie - great to be out in the sea air especially as work has been stressful and alot of hours this month
Enjoy the pics!
