Catches Are Shrinking

On Saturday, me and Chen were supposed to have fishing plans but the bloody wind forecast dampened out spirit. So it was called off the night before and what a bloody mistake it had seemed to be. Woke up to a beaut saturday morning only to know we've been screwed by the weatherman. Oh well, what more could we do? Go tackle shop! Went to Fishfinder at Matraville and brought our Gloomis blanks and Matagi grips plus Chen's recoil guides and my Fuji Titanium Sic to get it pimped up. Told them our specifications and the good thing is, our guides were all sorted out even though we had some sizes wrong. All we can do now is, waiting game.

Did some work in the afternoon after coming back from the tackle shop and was getting really bored towards the evening. Was contemplating whether to go lure or not seeing that the wind was kinda dying down. Asked Chen if he minds for a quick flick after nancy's dinner and he gladly obliged. Headed down sure-fire and lure in the dark. The wind wasn't really felt and seemed like an ideal condition. Tried gulps for nothing and we roughly knew it would be a donut trip. We were practically fishing in the highest tide but then we kept hearing splashes even on a moon-less night. I went with LC Tango and didn't help much as I knew the lure was probably swimming mid-water. Lured for almost an hour before I got a baby, BORING!!!

Well, at least not a donut. Moved down a little more and we were constantly hearing more and more splashes. Got another smallie near the snag, was thinking, wah... sianz... could be due to the fact i'm using a hardbody lure.

Was thinking about going back to gulp but too lazy to change and so continued with the Tango. This lure definitely the hip-hoppest one I've ever owned, could say it has caught more than the Sydney Guppy SX. At one point, the feeding frenzy seemed to have come on. Bang, I'm on the third fish, slightly better size almost made it to legal.

This time, I told Chen to change to hardbody which he had already did by using his SX48, lol. Next 2 casts and I'm on yet again around the same spot, they are feeding! But sadly not a biggun but at least made it to the legal department.

Had a hit but no hookup but yeah, that's about it for the evening. Told Chen to pepper my spot while I was taking pictures. By then, we had to leave as Chen had something on. Went off to Maccas for a small feed and we talked heaps at Stanmore which was pretty cool. Not bad spending a quick flick with a mate.
