slept in (woops) and ended up on the water around 10, few boats coming in that had been out since 7 all with no luck, i launched in a rush trying to get in inbetween boats coming in and forgot the bungs :blush: quick lean over the side and flick the bilge pump on sorted that one out :laugh: :laugh:

shot straight up around to the right past the pump tower and did a few drifts down that passage, few dozen snub nozed gar on 1" atomic curl tail grubs, few BIG hits but kept losing the tails and not hooking up

the water was fairly clear (as far as dam water is concerned) so flicked a darker SX40 along some weed banks (colour 339 i think) and some more gar and a few more big hits with no hookups , threw around a frenzy lipless crank and a R2S deep diving minnow with not a touch. with all the flies around due to the dead roo up the bank i decided to do a troll around to the other arm, all of a sudden there was line tearing off my little daiwa :woohoo: , fought the "fish" for 5 minutes, it even took a few big runs ! then i saw my leader knot and ...... a spinnerbait ?

some poor bloke had tangled his line around his prop and was busy fixing that while i trolled past and picked up the end of his line 60 odd meters away, we both had a chuckle as i helped him untangle it.

all in all, nothing too huge or exciting but nice to be out in the sun
