A mate and I attended the central vic lure casters comp at eildon on saturday. Target fish were yellas. Rules were strictly lures only, and no tying up to trees, but trolling is allowed. The siren went and we all headed down to the boats and off, from peppers point. It was a very tough day. We threw everything at them but we simply couldn't entice a strike. We headed straight for some good looking banks and began working them hard with spinnerbaits and jackalls. Then trolling along that bank and up past the next one, then back again and smashed it with spinnerbaits and jackalls again. We worked deeper areas and shallower areas, but they were shut down and not playing the game for us. Plenty of reddies about up to 23cms. Some of them were the same size as the lures we had on. The next year or two should fish very well for them.
At the end of the comp we both looked at each other puzzled, as to what we had done wrong in order to doughnut. Out of 98 competitors, only 7 or 9 (cant quite remember) yellas were caught, up to 57cms. Along with a few cod up to mid 70's or so. Tough day all round. Nonetheless it was a fun event with a top bunch of blokes. Doing this comp was a bit out of left field for me, but I don't think it'll be the last. They have a pro series, and a super series (this was round 1). Next round is at nagambie in march.

Red I also fished the peppin point comp, was very hard I got one follow from a yella all day, 2" and 3" vibes brought the reddies on thick but none of significant size! I'll keep an eye out for u at mitchellstown
