Quantity Instead Of Quality

With an overcast and slight drizzle day ahead, the forecast was gonna be a thunderstorm day. Thought I'll take the gamble and head out in the morning seeing that the wind was almost non-existent and most importantly, I've got no Myer! It's been a long time since I've been back to an old place and there I was early in the morning with a calm glassy water and slight drizzle. As the water was quite high already, I thought I'll try and use the 1.5g squidgy head again with a jointed worm to do my fish seeking again. Bites were thick and fast and the worm was gone on the 1st cast. The incoming tide current wasn't that strong and so I'll change to a lighter head. Used the bloodworm wriggler and subsequent casts later, landed a small 28cm. Then the mayhem continued when I was getting confident bites and refining my technique to get more positive hookups. Thought it was gonna be a hot session and therefore took an instructional video to record the action.

A tailor? Hahaha... And the slippery fishes doesn't like my hands either! DIU NA SENG!!! Kept getting spiked the whole entire time. Goofy vid.. goofy angler.. and this goofy fish..

The action was kinda like on and off. But most noticeably is when the sun was up and the bites seemed to be down. But luckily the tide was like prematurely outgoing even though I thought it wasn't supposed to start that early. Oh well, then the bites came back but only when I had to use the current and work the drift of a 1gramer head. The wriggler was badly thrashed after 5-6 fishes and I thought the more bulkier Gulp grub will make it sink easier. After the 1st success and knowing the fishes are there, I took a vid on the usage of grub albeit editing away the first 2 unsuccessful casts.

Ronia: "well.. let's try another-gain.." ANOTHER-GAIN?! What kind of fuctup english is that? hahahahaha... Based on the vid, I'll say that's the best fight. This particular one swam into the drain and I had like a split second to steer the line away from the protruding concrete edge. Fully respected this 29'er. (But they never ever let me hold still for a cradle shot! Diu!)

That was about it. Roughly estimated about 15 breams and some tailors and flatheads. Here's some more pics that I compiled, but I think it's really redundant to keep showing bream pictures! They all looked the same!!! Hahahaha...

Not bad for a 2 hour session albeit getting really wet and spiked by a few breams. At least got my vids which wouldn't be made possible if not for the hot bites.
