queensland Some lily tuffies

[Dinodadog]

Got an invite to fish from some private property this morning and as I always look forward to fish areas I cant normaly access how could I refuse. Started off with a nice fighting tough bass on the first cast. As I was fishing in amongst weed and lilies you did not have time to dilly dally with these tough brutes as they would do you in a heartbeat. I was casting into about 23ft of water using beetlespins, I would let it sink down as far as I required then slow retrieve back to the weeds, the fish were smashing the lure half way in, then you had the problem of getting them through the weed jungle. Here is a few pics of these lily tuffies, what they lack in size they make up for in fight.

Good result there dino, I see you finally found a home for that last tag

Nice stuff Dino, and your right about lily toughies. I have been getting into a few brutes from amongst the lilypads recently and they are fat and feisty fish.

Yes Beau and very hungry fish in water not regulary fished, got a few like your biggest from yesterday. They only stay hungry until about 8am.

Yes Perky tough little buggars.

Nice change of scenery, Dino.

Hope you took care of that back. Relying on the fresh fishermen for reports at the moment

Is the saltwater closed

[ellicat]

No nice big hills to block that dirty wind :evil: , so most of it is closed...

Its been a bit windy after about 8am in the lakes as well, I have taken the fly rod a couple of times and never bothered even using it, To much effort needed on the back to get a bit of distance.

It's called technique Dennis

Did you get those fluffy things I put on your window last week?

[Dinodadog]

I did Norm and when the wind drops a bit I am going to try them out thanks mate. Had your favourite togar half way in the other day when he decided to do a flip and that was the end of that. I,ll have to find a exercise to strengthen the wrists so I can get that fly out further.
