Congrats to all the lekker catches posted this morning,I am still kicking myself for loosing what I think was a monster steenie.
Went down to the pier on Sat arvie armed with my 12ft Elbe and Shimmie 15/30 to target some elf,after a hour and no elf,one landed by some other chap,I changed tactic and lobbed out a chokka prawn combo,15 min later a bump and then flatstick,Blue train takes off for the deep blue ,on full drag the bugger does not want to turn,I see I am running out of string and start forcing the bugger maybe too much,aijaijai,that dreaded slap line feeling the hook pulled,Sat night was a sleeples night dreaming about 20kg steenies.
On Sunday after church we decided to go see if the rumours of swimming prawn in the river are true,went up into the far reaches of the kowie ,plus minus 20km,prawn were few and far between ,6hours and 115 prawn,iesh too much hard work.What was nice to see was all the juvenile cob ,in every cast ranging from 2cm to 10cm ,nice healthy population,one little bugger even had a prawn bigger than himself lodged in its throat.
