A day of two halves as I also fished Wollaston and had my best day to date. Had to fish 50 m west of my planned mark today as someone had beaten me to it . But thats fishing. So feeling a little less expectant and a bit miffed, I randomly dropped anchor and the trusty house brick in 2m and opted for a float rig fished at about 1.8m as over weed according to the sounder ( water too murky to see anything).Lines in at 9:55 precisely and bugger me 9:56 a bite, a good scrap on the 10 ft float rod and a solid KGW at around 38cm joins the ice slurry in the esky. Rebait, cast, bite, strike, miss, repeat a couple of times until its slightly bigger mate joins it. T and biccies will have to wait. By 1030 I had 15 in the bag (great sport watching a float slide away and using the light gear) and was looking at an early doors exit due to an impending bag limit. Buuuuut....and there's often a But.........1130 saw me still chasing no 17 (although a few around 32 had been returned) and it wasnt till 12:29 and a half that No 20 finally came aboard. - a nice 40 to finish on. All good fish including 2 scraping 43 (PB) and several over 40 on float fished discounted Woolies prawn. Noticed that the other boat had had very little action and they came over around fish no 5 and anchored up 20 m below me. By fish No 10 still nowt and he moved away across the Bay only to return an hour later to see how I was doing and on my invite anchored up 10 m abeam. Hed been using mussel all morning for a few here and there, but with no prawn aboard had had nothing since my arrival. So I threw him some over in an empty plastic Raymond Island honey pot and left him catching after I hit No 20. Decided to head and gut a few at the ramp as the pelicans were expecting something and then did a tour of the estate, boat still attached, to give away a few fish that had been promised on various dog walks... hence only 12 in the pic. So another excellent KGW day on the local lakes and good to see healthy, chunky monkey, quality fish this early in the season , and widespread through their usual haunts. I think most readers will be well aware of all things KGW regarding what, where, when, and how by now, so shall minimise future posts as hopefully it will be Same Ole Same Ole...... buuuut ....there again, probably, read "definitely maybe"... Not!
