something different

[dirvin21]

a workmate invited me out to have a fish in his dam, he's stocked it with plenty of silver perch and yellabelly. Put a lot of casts in with soft plastics working the bottom searching for a yellabelly (he hasn't seen any since he stocked them 3 years ago) for no joy but the water was like ice. Saw some movement around the weeds on the edges so swithced to an sx40 and after many many casts finally a take 

After being wrapped up in the weeds twice a nice silver came bankside.

He measured up 40cm

been atleast 15 years since I;ve caught one of these guys forgot how hard they go.

Only ended up with one fish which was released did have another couple of hits but the water was probably a bit cold, I've been invited to return when the water warms up the aim being to catch a yellabelly and prove they're still in there.

It's always good to catch soemthing different

cheers for reading
