Decided to head to the Tarwin early Saturday morning on the run in tide to flick some lures and hopefully catch my first EP. First cast was met with a little tap but no follow up. About 20 casts later I got a little hit on my rapala xrap followed but a gentle hook up before a decent fight ensued. I was pleasantly surprised to see a decent sized perch surface in front me and I quickly got him up out of the water. Didn’t have my pliers with me and I had a p**** of a time ( literally) getting the treble out of his mouth but eventually got him back in the water to fight another day. No other action after that despite changing lures multiple times but I’ll be back for more. All up a beautiful still morning on the river with my first EP is pretty hard to beat.
Not sure how to do pics on here, I’ll see if I can get one up soon.

Re: Tarwin River EP
Nice work, they sure go hard in there. Plastics go well in that system as well as surface lures...even better at night.

Re: Tarwin River EP
I went back this morning and tried plastics as well as hard bodies but didn’t even get a tap. Probably go again tonight or early morning for another crack before I go home.
