Well another Saturday and another strong wind from the south or south west.Anyway I head down to one of my favourite beaches at West Lakes .Parked the car and headed to the start of the beach.
And first cast POP a tiny bream was jumping at my fly.This happened a couple of times and then nothing .So by this time I had waded back to my car.And I thought a quick change of fly ,as the one I was using had never produced a fish .
So on with another popper and I'm off.The wind wasn't the hassle I had thought.It created water movement .The biggest hassle was the ARMADA OF SKULL BOATS that were training on the lake today.
About an hour in and a good length of beach waded .I had a hit and miss then BAM

and a bad shot of the fly



A quick couple of snaps and he back in the water went this little 19cm Bream and I would say a minute after I was back in the water Bam again



I continued on my way after this did have a giant jump that missed the fly .And a couple more small fish that didnt take the fly properly but by 8.45 am the fish had all gone home.
And by the time I left at 9.20am I spent about 2 1/2 hours chasing them
Cheers

getting fish consistantly now Micky,good on you and keep it up.
cheers brenton

Whether they be big or small, they have to be better than donuts.

Keep plugging away mate

Soon you'll have to change your username to the 'Popper King'. Well done once again Micky.

Cheers, Dave.

Thanks guys
Was a donut day today .I decided to try Triana Way beach,Only mention it as it was crap .First time there and perhaps the last .then I headed to yestersdays spot but the sun was to high up I think .And the wind was against me .
Oh well theres always Australia day hopefully with some wind

I had a flick this morning at your beach Mick,this was the best for the morning but definitely not up with previous years,looks like the dropoffs have levelled out a bit as well which was part of the reason the fish sat in so close there.

cheers brenton
