Night Ops Number One

It's the 'NO-LIFE' Ronald blogging again. Someone told me he like the 'NO-LIFE' life, lucky his CO never hear this, or else sure kena get confinement. This week the highest tides in Sydney is only 1.74m, better than nothing. Now I think I got the night luring bug, because I feel I can safely use the soft plastics without worrying that the farkin toads chew them up like they do so often during daytime. Also, it's cooler now, though already near mid autumn. But on the safety side issue, I make sure I lure at brightly lit areas, especially got lots of street lamps.

Decided this time to concentrate my efforts at the trevally spot. I thought enough is enough for using the gulp grub, it's time to start using bigger Gulps, and so the Smelt 3" minnow was whacked on a size 2 hook jighead. Got the usual flatties and heaps of bites very near the banks. I thought to myself, maybe tonight the fishes are right under my feet. So changed to parallel casts and true enough, more bites and flatty hookups occurred. Then, the thing we fishos always dreamt of... Zzzzz... This bugga gave my kix reel a bloody good workout on a cold night. Up came a 34cm bream, after some nifty rod work and enjoying her multiple runs.

Took quite awhile to take the photos as I waited for all the joggers, walkers, strollers, stalkers.. (?!).. to pass me by before I did the 'stupid asian' thing. Ok, got my happy pics and so she was man-handled all the way to the nearest steps for her ultimate release after enduring some camera flashes. Continued hammering that stretch and suddenly there was a bigger orgasmic zzzzz but no hookup?! KNNBCCB!! That one seemed to be a better one. Anyway, the minnow was still alive and caught me more small breams and flatties before it was too destroyed to stay on the jighead properly. Switched to a lure which I haven't use for super long time. It was a StrikePro which I got from Lure Haven in Singapore. Did some mod to it and voila, second cast of it and got a small bream, lure devirginised!

Continued with it for awhile more and scored some big hits but no hookup. Got tired and left eventually. Not really a hot night ops, but then can't complain. Maybe I too high-standard, can't be lah.

So when the session not too hot, how? Buy lures loh! NO-LIFE Ronald now wants to become NO-MONEY Ronald. Don't know how to write the word "DIE" in chinese. Still got the balls to dig my wallet even though no more scholarship, champion! Never mind, mentality now is eat Maggi Mee... in exchange... got a new Bassday Sugar Deep 50F in Wakasagi colour from eBay. Received the package from Jepun, courtesy of Father Muldoon. The package was opened by Quarantine officer! Stupid seller I told him to write only the word "LURE" in the custom description but I guess his England sucks big time...

Then... because Kmart now sells limited Gulps, I can't resist buying them when there's 20-25% discount on fishing stuffs! So, got a pack of grub and a new saltwater minnow to try, the 3inch minnow in Lime Tiger colour.

That's it, NO-LIFE, NO-MONEY, and plenty of lures.. WTF?! Pathetic me.. sigh..
