Work Sucks, Fishing Sucks More

I've to admit I'm under a considerable stress with my thesis writeup and the pressure to finish before the deadline. To give credit to my supervisor too for he is trying to help me but at the same time there's pressure to do experiments which I'm hating for it to take place as I'm really not confident that it'll work. And I thought fishing is supposed to relieve stress but seems like I haven't had any good session lately with many lost hookups and crappy weather.

Went to Wolli Creek on Sunday for a quick session seeming that Nancy's dinner kinda put me off. Quickly took my luring SBO and weapon out. The wind was blowing quite strong but sort of behind me. Nonetheless, seeing the water was kinda low, I gave the new SX40 a try and lo and behold, it caught a flattie on the 1st cast. It has properly been devirginise. But to think of it in a scary way, SX40 and flatties can't really mix, I've had instance when the other SX was swallowed almost fully in and they are renowned to slice the thin leader when they struggle.

I respray the SX with a new coat of stimulate for a few more casts without anything. I continue moving further downstream from the spot I caught the flattie with almost zero bites. Seeing that I was gonna be there for just a short while, I opted to use the camo sandworm and try back at the flattie spot. Couple of casts later got a crazy take and the fish went balistic doing somersaults on the water surface, it was funny. Up came just a small little bream which I was surprised it really struggle hardout.

Guess when everytime I write my blog it's always about fishy pics so I thought just take a shot of this Wolli Creek just about to sunset and it was almost 8pm already!

By then, I had almost wanted to leave as I was holding my piss! The constant excuses of "ONE LAST CAST" (or casts). It was after a few more one-last-casts that I got a similar size small bream on the worm before I called quits when Phillip phoned me.

Left the place hastily to give my bladder a relieve and met up with the guys back at college for a Karaoke session later on.

Darryl (singaporean guy I met in fishingkaki) came from Port Macquarie and gave me a call to fish the next morning. I obliged and asked Justin along too. We went Iron Cove in the morning for a lousy session too, though the conditions were all perfect. I got a few flatties nothing much to brag about though had my first IC pinkie snapper on a bloodworm grub on the 1st cast.

Cannot afford to slack off from the work now, gotta do as much but not forgetting some sessions to be squeezed in as well. Hopefully..
