Bloody Flies!

Last weekend saw me and Chen darting out for a quick session before work in Myer. We made our way to another new spot in Cooks to avoid the wind. Looking at the watch we knew we had only less than an hour. Chen's 1st cast got him a good run on Tierra and not a bad fish at 33cm taken on his usual deadly worm.

I was just getting hits and there but could never hook up. Not until when I moved further upstream whilst Chen was still diligently working his area, then I managed to hook up a 28cm on a pseed mullet using the gama head.

And what do you know.. snagged.. KNNBCCB!!! Seeing that the time was almost up, I discard the idea to re-rig and so off we go.

The next day, I was off from work while Chen couldn't resist not fishing and thus called in sick from Myer. I had wanted to do a marathon which will consist of a last light bassing at Penrith but Chen had to meet his girlfriend and so canned the idea. Left for Cooks again as the northerly winds were blowing hard out. 1st stop was to try a pipe bridge that Rocky sent some pics to show me. Bloody hell, it only took a few casts to snag our plastics! Gave up with that place and proceeded to another street directory searched place to suit the winds. Sms'ed Rock that place and being a super resourceful Cooks fisherman, he found us in no time. Before he had ruck up, Chen did his usual 1st cast wonder by hooking up another good bream at 34cm this time round.

After that, it became quiet. And like I said to Chen, Cooks always seemed to present itself as a spot that once you've hooked up one, that's the end of it.. True indeed, as the rest of the session was dull and the most irritating of all, BLOODY FLIES!!! They were attacking us non-stop, fly into my ears, my face, and my mouth!!! KNNBCCB!!! Want to fish comfortably also cannot! Me in the other end, got haunted again by the flatties, hooking up 4 including these 2 which are better sizes.

Burnt, thirsty and tired, we called it quits while Rocky with his more and more and MORE newly bought japanese lures, had to continue at other place to cure his breaming itch, NOT MY FAULT!
