Another Good Day Out

[Simon Everett]

A few of us met up to try for a late season bass over ground that should prove to be quite good. However, due to the enormous amount of fresh water coming off the mountains and the fact that it is late we didn't see any.

I think we would have been better off going out over the reef instead of trying the shallow estaury. The area looks promising but didn't live up to expectations I am afraid. Even so, it was a lovely place to be to not catch a fish

 

Here is Stuart (South African) readying his Malibu X-Factor with a stunning backdrop of the area we intended to explore:www.go-fishing.org/upload/

 

Oh.

 

No it isn't!

 

I shall have to wait until somebody shows me how to do it then! I think it is meant to be easier

 

However, web designers don't take into account "The Everett Factor"

I had one of those days yesterday as well, squid too big for my hooks, should have checked them before paddling out. Had some blistering takes, but failed to hook up, interestingly I was using flurocarbon on one rod and Black Amnesia on the other, only some very small nibbling of the tenticles on the Amnesia, the fluro was getting all the attention.

 

Only me and a trawler were out, was going to fish a wreck but he had beaten me to it. Roll on the next smooth day.

 

Took my little video camera with me as well, it was a last minute thing and when I got the thing out to play, found that my kids had knicked the rechargeables

Was that the same wreck we looked at last time but decided it was too rough.

That's the bunny, it was a fun launch through the surf, water upto my waist... took a while to drain back out which was a little worrying Sat around for a couple of hours, then it started to get a bit windy, and the surf was building up, so paddled back home had quite a nice surf back in, the Prowler handled really well in the surf, which was nice seeing as all the benches were full of spectators.

 

Nearly gave you a ring actually, but don't have your number... do I ?

 

Anyway, will drop you a PM next time out.

Well, after much toing anf froing I have been tutored in how to put a picture up! Just to save you scolling up and down the page here is South African getting his Malibu Xfactor ready

 

Why it is so big I have no idea - it is resized automatically in photobucket (Captain and his mighty Organ put me through the mill on that one)

here is anothe rone from the day

 

The first picture - at the top of the post of us having a beer on the beach is from the same source - why the difference in size I haven't a clue. It is all done for me in the clever scheme of things. Later in the day we tried another part of the estuary - lovely backdrop

 

It was all a waste of time though - there are no fish there at all. Four of us put in about 6 hours fishing solid - so in 24 hours of rod time in various parts of the estuary - zilch. Spinning, plugging, fly fishing - no fish. But it was a nice paddle! I can't recommend the place for hauls of fish though!

Didn't you take any grenades as a last resort. about time you fitted that finder Simon, it would have made life more frustrating

Great! Simons mastered posting pics. Now all he needs is someone to show him resizing!

[Simon Everett]

What's the matter? Aren't they big enough? I can make them bigger if you like - my neighbours think they're fine!!
