mully_madness 1 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 no worries mate i might make my way down there again in a couple of hours aswell and flick some lures around had a good run on them the other day second cast was into a fish :woohoo: .If you head too the same area i think you were fishing from what i can tell by what the fish was sittin on they should come in again .Around what time did you hook up ive found lately they fire up a bit as the tide is dropping back out . a quick look at your profile pic tells me we were fishing together last week .Welcome aboard too mate .MM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Softy 2,991 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Well FINALLY a decent sesh!!!!Got there at about 3pm with Grego, already 20 odd people fishing, so found a spot and set up, started off quietly then Grego was on, then on again, then again... :S Then FINALLY i got one :lol:Ended up 5-6 for Grego and 2 for me, my biggest was 39cm and over a KG i reckon. was a pretty good sesh, can't wait to head back there!!!While getting my gear ready i couldn't decide if i should take my waders or not, so didn't bother... soon as i walked over the dunes and saw the water i had a "WTF didn't i moment" :lol:Next time i will be much more prepared....Also, call me crazy, but my rod got in the shower before me when i got home, have to wash all that salt crap off them... afishyfish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mully_madness 1 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 next time ya go there softy n co if ya mate hooks up and youve got a bait in the water take an extra rod with ya and if mate beside you hooks up and you dont rather quickley after jump on the opposite side too where your bait is and get a lure out there asap chances are they just arent comin through far enough too find your bait but theyll always find a metal slug when ya dong em on the head with it .MM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
