The Nursery Patch

[Lukeyboy83]

10 – 15 knots all weekend meant only one thing and obviously it revolved around throwing a line in somewhere. Clearly the mowing can wait until next weekend right? Working at Nashy’s Compleat Angler on Saturday, I continually found myself peering out the glass door and watching the movement of wind through the neighbouring tree tops – or LACK of wind for that matter. Yep it was definitely glorious weather outside which meant I had to grovel to the wife to allow me a leave pass for Sunday to relieve my itchy trigger finger.


I rang up my mate Dan who was keen as always, so we packed the light spin tackle and made tracks for one of our local spots.


There is a saying that goes a little something like this: Some days are rocks and some days are diamonds. There are various versions of this but at the end of the day, the message is still the same. Some days everything goes right and it is like the sun, moon and earth align and formulate a piscatorial frenzy and fish are so thick that they would even smash a well presented stick! These days are diamonds my friends and the opposite is clearly – rocks.


Unfortunately this trip was a rock hard day. This spot has produced great fishing on many occasions but today just wasn’t one of those memorable days and sometimes that just fishing hey. You can clean up one day and the next day you go there with the same lure, same time of day, same tide etc and it just doesn’t happen. But I guess that the reason why we keep going back – it’s the thrill of the unknown and what you many encounter on that “one more cast” or the next visit.

Ended up with a couple of little cod, a grunter and baby GT. At the end of the day it was just awesome being out amongst this awesome weather we have experienced over the last few days.
