Is it bed time yet? - 16Jan13
TR by Gemini
Participants: Gemini, Redwood
Launch Site: Lions Park, Weyba Creek
Conditions: Fine, light breeze
Well the river didn't fire as i'd hoped it would last night/this morning. Here's a brief account of the nights activities.
At 11:30PM Redwood and I headed in a clockwise direction from the Lions Park to loop back around to the Woods bays, trolling and flicking lures along the way. A slight technical glitch with rudders and trolled lines put us on the bank for a brief spell, but we were back at it soon enough. We followed the current line out towards the river mouth and back with no hits. On our way back around towards the bays Redwood managed to pick up a hairtail on a drifting pilchard. We trolled up and down between and around the bays with no joy. The fish were splashing around near the jetty's, but none were interested in what we had to offer. No boils were sighted all night.
The only action I had was a brief grab from something fairly large on my home way past the Sheraton. I had my drag locked tight, yet the reel screamed like crazy. Seconds later the hooks had pulled, and closer examination of the gold bomber showed a bent treble and teeth marks. I'm guessing it was a decent sized shark, but who knows...
We finished up at around 3:30AM. Not a great fishing night, but it was pleasant out there at least with no boats to bother us.
