Dismal Luring Efforts

I don't know why but for the month of January, the luring front has been pretty bad. It's the last month I'm gonna be here but the fishes just wouldn't co-operate with me! KNNBCCB!!! Maybe it's the spot that has to do with it. I've been going Iron Cove pretty hardout, though some fishes were caught, they couldn't push through the 30 mark. Here's some breams I caught up in the canal and seemed like the gun lure for that place was the midget 2inch gulp worms.




The very first session at the canal was the best after all, when I remembered getting 10 plus odd breams all on the worm. The good thing about that spot was the puffers weren't that prolific as in the actual bay itself. And most obvious observation would be that so long when the water starts moving, the bites would come on. Having located a few sub-drain mouths helped as the breams liked to congregate around there. The hardbodies in this season was a total disaster, with some efforts put into using them, but little time to exploit them, it didn't turn out too well catching fish at all. Tried using it at the canal with better result though a few hits and a landed fish was all that it was. Randomly went to Rocky's wolli-eel spot and got one smallie as well. Only the Sx40s seemed to perform so far, the Tango was a let-down.



Then, with the summer came the thought of using poppers hardout as well. Accidentally bumped into a spot in Glebe that seemed to make poppering quite useful. Was exclusively using that Rebel Pop-R at the mangrove shallows and there were huge splashes a few times but just couldn't hook up. Seemed promising though but alas, went back again subsequently without a single follow! The first time whilst there I only managed 2 tailors, the biggest going at 24cm.



Then finally, the last luring trip at Iron Cove had steezy screamed for awhile. At first I thought it was a good size bream but with the headshakes and easy coaxing, I was thinking likewise. A mere 36cm whiting was landed instead, geez... it ran quite hardout for such a size.

Guess I would not have the chance to land a 40 model after all. Sianzz... That's about it on the luring front so far but seemed like not much time left here to do any quality session. Been too focused on surfing the net for jobs and preparing applications that I didn't have time to do progressive blogs. Guess the fishing bug is slowly wearing out too. Will do another blog soon on my niggering quests as that prospect seemed to be firing for me lately, hehe...
