Couple of weeks nearly since my last outing with the lures having done a little bait fishing last week instead targeting the hounds locally.
Anyway, first session of the week was on Tuesday night. Ideal conditions though I would have preferred HW a little later than 10:04pm, the full moon meant it was a VERY! Light evening and normally I’m not a fan but the urge to fish was too great. Very quiet night but perseverance paid off 20min into the ebb when my Patchinko 140 gets nailed again at distance. I said to the lad fishing to my left I’d hooked up but believed it to be a schoolie. At this point the fish I believe didn’t know it was hooked and is swimming towards me, around 30ft from the shoreshe goes ballistic ? I now realise it’s better than first thought and I catch the first glimpse of her under the moonlight sky, patch in mouth. A couple of squeaky bum moments as I wade back to shore but she’s mine. A really well conditioned fish I quickly measure her at 63cm and she’s a proper Welsh beauty, quick pic and wade back out to release her.
Even though I fished on until midnight that was the only interest in the lure all night, strange really as there was fish in the area....... but can’t catch ‘em all I suppose.
Session two came last night and the urge to hit the later HW tide got the better of me, I should be decorating too but that can wait ?. I leave a little later with the plan being to fish 2hrs up and 1down.
Roll up to see a familiar face and also @Roccobrown24nice to meet you mate. ?
With signs again of fish in the area this time it was 20min before HW when the blank was beaten with a solid little fish taking a liking to the 125 Patchinko on this occasion but again in the yellow colour.
Right on HW I doubled my tally for the night with another fish of similar size.
Again though as the previous night it didn’t quite fire and other than a dropped fish on a Nacre Patchinko that was it.
I reluctantly called an end to proceedings shortly after midnight and headed back towards the car.
With a Bbq planned for Saturday and the small matter of a Champions League final to contest that night and also having promised the kids a trip to the zoo Sunday it’ll be next week now before I bother any more silvers ?.
Tight lines ????
