Mickyj 3,204 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Well I got this PM from crabman who wanted to learn to SWFF.He said he'd meet me at a certain beach by 7.30am.I got there at 7 fished until 8.Only Brenton turned up including the fish being a no show .So I drove to the other side of the lake .Brenton said the wind would be in my face and it was .So I walked past the bait fishers to the other end of the beach and before the next bait fisher .Waded out and the wind was at my back well almost.Just before 9am this little 20cm Bream grabbed my fly.At one stage I thought she was a bit bigger the fight she put up was great for her size.Sorry the best of the bad pictures I took of this fishSo I released that 20cm fish and a couple of casts .Well ok a bad cast latter and this tiny bream grabbed the fly .Same fish with a mouthful of flySo once again I released the fish and casting away .This is when I really needed someone shooting a video .I'll do my best to describe this 21cm fish .She jumped about 20-30cm away from the fly straight up in the air and then across and landed on top of the fly .took my surface popper and ran.She'll wasn't going anywhere except on the bank for a picture or two!! And the bad fly picture One more as she was my biggest fish of the dayAnd that was my Australia day flick.By then I was back to the bait fishers .CheersMick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
