Gday guys,
Went down to Vines Creek today for 2 hours with the old man today and had a pretty good little sesh.
Started off well will a few small flatties being caught within the opening half hour ranging from 30-50cm. Same as last time, my Brown Snake coloured Stiffy Minnow did the damage while Dad persisted with a 3in Gulp Shrimp.
After I had landed my 7th Dusky for the day, I soon had a different fight on my hands. I had worked the lure down to its operating depth when I dediced to check the drag setting on my reel. Soon enough the rod was nearly ripped from my hands as a fish clobbered the lure and angled towards a near-by snag. I stuck it to this small fish and I laughed as soon as I saw a baby barra take to the air. I soon had him on the sand where we could take a few photos of the perfectly conditioned barra.
I nailed another barra soon after from around the same snag so we decided to hang around a bit longer. For about the next 15 minutes it was non-stop barra action with me landing another 3 small fish, dropping another 2 and me Dad even dropped a few...on MY rod!
By now my Stiffy Minnow was looking pretty beat up with a snapped treble and a straightened split ring so we called it a day and got out before the tide turned.
Not bad for 2 hours in a creek with a few lures and light flick sticks aye!
Cheers Isaac
