Clifton Springs
So after going to a funeral Friday at Tongala and then having to leave family Saturday morning in Tongala to go work flatout Saturday Sunday...
I decide to go for late arvo stress relief fish.
Arrived at Clifton Springs 17.30... not many boats at ramp.
No time to bait collect so I headed straight to bend at Clifton springs , ... was couple of boats at the Bend n I sounded some ok marks...
Caught my first pinkies on a storm micro jig ...and had to ok runs and caught standard flathead...
Lots of bites on garfish.....

Re: Clifton Springs
Nice work bowl. Do you drift when using the jigs or do you throw them around while on anchor?
Cheers, Anth

Re: Clifton Springs
I like your strategy with two rods in the holder while you flick an SP. I am only just starting out on the SP's so I will employ the same tactic to develop my skills in this area. Is there still the black/red marker positioned at the entrance to the Clifton springs marina? I went there 2 weeks ago and saw it there and thought it was indicating that the marina was closed

If the bait fishing is slow, I will flick a plastic or squid jig or sabiki rig to try n catch Silver whiting or salmon...

Re: Clifton Springs
Thanks for the tip on the marker, I thought that was the case and given that there was no other trailers in the car park, I thought that it might have been reeeeeeealy shallow
