queensland A Gain In The Rain

[Dinodadog]

Well I finally got back in the boat this morning, there was a bit of rain about but not enough to get to wet. Started off with a bit of casting to the edges, picking up a few small bass, then headed off down the dam trolling picking up a bass here and there.Found a couple of schools on the sounder so tried some jigging, for zilch, so down went a fish finder and instant hookup, a bloody forkie, next spot same again, ended up with 11 of the mongrels. So headed off to another spot where the bass were hungry, managed 32 bass all up, so not bad for first day back after falling over.Leg still raw and has to be dressed each day, so I was very careful on the ramp.Forgot to mention one of the forkies put a small gash in my finger, I was waiting for the sting but it never came, lucky lucky lucky.

Well done mate, wasn’t a great day to get out but I guess the fish don’t mind if it’s raining ! Might put the pots in for some Sandy’s Sunday

You did well to only get 1 scrape from 11 forkies.

Is the fish finder a spinner-bait ?

No the best fishfinder of all time a shrimp.

well done for getting out in the ordinary weather.

I am yet to get a proper sting from a forkie. I hear they are nasty. Is there a best practice way of handling them?

They say put your finger in hot water as hot as you can stand, I cant stand it hot at all. No problem for Ray he has the hot water on the boil in the boat for his coffee.

Had a working bee out at NPD yesterday, got a lot of work done including the pelican poo removal from the ramp. Had a quick flick in Glens red boat, got a nice 40cm on beetlespin before rain closed in.
