Met scotty before the dawn and launced form a new spot , as the track to the usual launch spot is badly degraded
On the water as the sun rose
and headed down river towards the rail bridge as i hadnt paddled that stretch of the river before.
Was foggy and saw a few guys land based fishing as we paddled , but got nothing on the way downstream , so hopped out and had a flick from the sand banks under the pylons . Nice paddle and nice day , but got nada . so we decidede to paddle back upstream towards the rocks near the usual launch point.
Saw a nice big splash near where we launched and cast into the shadows ,nice 50cm flatty , new pb and nice feed sized for my tea.
Paddled up to the rocks and then trolled back towards the launch spot . was just looking at the water when the rod buckled and the drag screamed , grabbed the rod , cranked up the drag abit and hung on as ther nose of the yak turned towards whatever had grabbed my lure , fun fight for about 5 mins then this appeared for me nice 43cm GT , another pb , let him go as i had the flatty for a feed .
nice paddle , new area fished , 2 pb's , i had a good day
