Anyone know where to get a tent like that? Last time I went fishing down at my local sit and fish spot I forgot to apply the old S factor and was so comfortable in my no fish trance that I completely didnt even acknowledge the sun blaring on my dainty skin and came home like a lobster!! If I had of had that little fella I'd have been ok!!
In saying that, the best Bream session I have ever had was in pooring rain when I was about 17 down at the train bridge between Padstow and Riverwood stations using some sort of worms my mates dad used to breed on his balcony. They looked somewhat like a mud worm but obviously weren't bred in mud. My mates brother ended up running a 5klm round trip to get us a tarp to set up and stand under and we must have caught over our bag limit of legal Bream that day! We only took home about 3 each but just catching them was too much fun and we were getting solid hook ups for hours! We fished till we ran out of our second lot of worms of which my mates bro ran home to get aswell!!
I've also fished Sydney harbour on a friday night in the rain with mates. We had talked up our fishing trip for weeks as we had the date organised and we were good to go, I drove up from Canberra for the weekend and on the way to sydney that afternoon I could see the clouds looming and I was so upset but the other guys were keen to go regardless and so we did. Now I dont mind rain so long as there is no wind with it, as wind is the ruin of many different outings and on this evening the wind was absolute zero!! It was raining steady but not hard and we had the bimini up and our gortex coats on and it turned out to be one of the best trips out on the boat we've ever had! We were catching plenty of fish, legal Snapper, Tailer, the odd Trevally and a few flatties!!
So yeah, dont let a bit of water let you down, but if its been raining for a few days I usually cut it away cause of all the wash out from the stormwater drains making most bays look like chocolate soup and so I dont go out for a good 2-3 days after the heavy stuff.
