Get out there as you never know what will happen.

Over 2 miles WALKED, soaked, muddy, wind swept,. WHO CARES when you have a morning like mine
[:T][:T]

DRAINS this morning, i never fish them that much.. was up, brownish, flowing nicely. SO, line of bait attack was simple. SMELLY, OILY fish..

1st fish a small 3lb 13oz jack, took half a bluey...

THEN IT GOT GOOD [][][][] re-casted, same spot, same bait, another run.

NEW DRAIN CAUGHT PB - 20lb 5oz of pure beauty:





Gotta show these some affection [:X][:X]



this followed a 16lb 14oz on a full sardine.

No more fish, levels were rising, must have come up 5/6" while we was there.

I LOVE THIS HOBBY

we will do that  

Congrats.on your drain record Dave,great fishing in conditions that would have put me right off going(not as hardy as I used to be  )
Stubbo,you cracked us both up with your comment on how to treat a woman,with valentine's day coming looks like she will be getting a pack of deadbaits and some fish oil to dab behind her ears  .Good to see you are still catching,looks a very scenic place to spend a few hours,unlike the flat boring landscape on our part of the world.
Time to pack the car for that session I promised her.Hope to report a fish or two later.

A big chub took a liking to my lamprey this morning. no pike!!

Blanked,kiss of death taking the missis,but then again we did only get 3 1/2 hours fishing,cos it took her 2 bloody hours to get ready  .
