Left the missus in bed at 615AM and hit the road. 2 gears in tow, one light and one heavy. I was planning to go to Gunna but I thought this place must be choked full of bait soakers so I drove all the way to London Bridge this morning.
High tide was 930AM. I was by the water's edge by 8AM. After casting a dozen times with no hits, I was starting to get annoyed. Change of tide and no fish?
Then I noticed that the sun was still blocked by the hills behind me so I walked farther to the left where the sunshine was already hitting the water. First cast on that area and I latched to something decent - 45cm~ish. Next cast - another 45cm~ish. Got 5 good sized salmon in 5 casts. The sun may have caused my lures to sparkle a lot. - this was the only thing I can think of. Then at 9AM the sun finally rose above the hills lighting up the whole of London Bridge area and all hell broke loose. Fish a cast, big and small. Unfortunately, the smaller fish out numbered the big ones. Too many fish around 300 grams or 30cm or less. I was using Halco Twist 15 grams lures with 1 extra treble added (1 treble both ends). 2 fish in one cast - it happened twice. I also had 2 fish in 1 treble once. Fishing was insane! :super:
Kept the good ones, chucked back the smaller ones. It was doing catch and release by 10AM - got my bag early. They hit any lures, big and small, even SP. :super:
So many fish that they hit the lures even in the wash (same experiencce as Carl). Fish were visible riding the waves chasing my lure. Insane! :crazy:
The whole of London Bridge was mine until 12PM. Not a single soul around! :super: :haha2: :haha2: :haha2: :haha2: :super:
Around 1130AM, the bigger fish disappeared but the 30cm ones stayed. 2 guys came around 12PM and they also got their bag on lures. Unfortunately, they missed on the big ones as they came late.
C&R until 230PM. Mind you that was already low tide (2PM) and the fish were still going nuts. Cast and retrieve from 8AM to 230PM non-stop. Sore arms. I can't take it anymore....too painful on my shoulder and arms to reel in a fish. Fish a cast - no bull but I think I caught over 70 fish today from the time they started biting around 845AM to 230PM. Left the fish biting. Today was the best surf spinning session I ever had. :super:
Sorry Carl, you missed on the action today. I dont have your number so I was unable to pass the info. :tongue:
OF ALL THE THINGS I LOST, I MISS MY MIND THE MOST.
