Started off at leaving home at 01:30 pick up the boat and get my gear ready.
As I drove towards the mountain the temp dropped and my windscreen started fogging up.
Turn the demister and it made if worse. So here I was driving in the dark while my windscreen was fogging up, not a good combination!!!
It was that bad that I didn't see a dead roo on the road till the last minute!!! Had to just drive over the top of him as I didn't have enough time to react...
Anyhow got to windamere around 05:30 and tried to see if the other guys are awake yet and they weren't so I decided to go solo for 2 hours while the others are still asleep.
I stayed near the ramp just incase any of them turned up.... 2 hours went past still no sign of them. So I decided to have a real crack at it.
Drove up to area I usual area and with in half an hour landed my first fish..
Next fish took about an hour later roughly the same size in length but just fat and round!!
By this time I had seen my other mates and they ask me how did I go. I told them I had 2 in the tank. So I putted over to and area I thought might hold fish. Put the electric motor in drove in to my surprise it was shallow!! But I seen the biggest Murray cod!!! It would have been 1.2 metres long and FAT!!!! Just below my boat threw everything I had at him with no luck!!!
Packed it up for the morning and headed back to the ramp. For breakfast. After a long rest we decided to head back out in the afternoon. I only landed 1 more for the day. Forgot to take a picture of that fish.
After getting back and cooking dinner I didn't hit the sack till 23:30 or there a bouts. So I was pretty stuffed by them didn't get up the next morning till 09:30. So after lazing around we decided to head to another river system wasn't sure what it was called but it was a beautiful place and I landed another yellow belly with my bait caster and on a spinner bait. Mind you I only just started learning how to cast these things and I look like spastic when I cast it.. Lol
Started to get the hang of it in the end. Had 2 more follows and a missed strike
It was funny weather as we were driving back to windamere we seen the mountain full of what I thought was snow but I think it was hail!!! Got back to base and windamere copped a drenching!!
Sunday morning after packing up hit the water around 06:30, as I was driving out from the ramp I sounded out some fish so I decided to try and get into them. After hundreds of cast and wind picking up. I decided to head back to the area where I picked up the other fish the first day arrived. For the first hour nothing!!! Tried a few other spots and BANG!! I'm on again, this thing felt heavy... And surely enough it was
Bout 15min after that one this one jumps on..
Anyway hope you guys have enjoyed the read!!
