Looking at the forecast on Friday night , geez you'd be excused for thinking to do something other than fishing with 25-30k winds predicted. Though come Saturday morning the weather dudes look like they might have got it wrong. You woildn't trust it though, so I decided to keep todays venture closer to home in case it all went belly up.
After thinking about missed opportunities from last weekend I decide to make a go of the Warmies. Arrive circa 9.00am, high tide was at 7.30 so I already know I'm behind the eightball, wind is bordering on being a pain, but I'm here now so lets drown some bait.
Moved around perhaps 3-4 times during the next 2 hours, trying to locate some action, and truth told it was very very ordinary. A few nibbles, but no bang bang bites which is what I was hoping for. 11.30AM rolls around and I'm thinking its time to break down the kit and head home when the tiddler rod buckles over. After a short but eventful fight up surfaces a 42cm Tailor, I waste no time landing him cause I knew he'd saw his way through the light leader if I mucked around too much.
Thinking where there is one there should be more I quickly get the lines back in hopeeful for a repeat performance.....and nope. Just the one. So pack it in, and back in the car homeward bound by 12.30. Not a great outing, very slow, but didn't go home empty handed. Happy Days.
