Fishin'

The Diary

Lake Purambeen - 5 to 7 September 2003: The Boys Weekend Away. Dave, Bez, Leo, Jake, Brett, Ramsay, Leeham & Irish Guy packed up the BBQ, beer and fishing gear for a few days away. Plenty of fishing was done, bait, lures, flies, daytime and night-time, but the fish were no-where to be found.; A bigger trout than most people will see in their lives was hauled in off a boat that weekend. Absolute monster.
Nelson - 17 to 20 February 2003: Cruising the picturesque Glenelg river in the tinny, Dave, Matt & I spent three nights in Nelson at the River Vu Caravan Park. The days were spent collecting small mullet for live bait and fishing for bream. Nights were spent traulling for mulloway with Dave's new electric motor.; Dave managed to haul in three massive mulloway using an old sidecast reel as well as a few bream. I caught a nice bream just by having my line dangling over the edge of the boat as we stopped to untangle to rods.
Lake Fyans - 2 October 2002: Dave, Ricky & I hit the lake at the crack o' dawn. Water level way down. Dave and Rick both hauled in a few decent trout and redfin each. Today wasn't my day... though I eradicated most of the weed in the lake. The catch: a large brown trout, 3 smaller rainbow and 3 medium sized redfin.
