People:me

Duration:0630-1030

Tide:lw@0800

Weather:flat calm and clear blue sky

Bait:fly

Rigs:

Results:2 mullet, 1.5lb and 2.5 lb approx.




Report:had set out wwith the intention of getting a few bass but with the small tides and the freshening NE breeze i wasnt overly confident. the lack of confidence was justified with a fishless first 2 hours. with this a change of plan was called for. off i shot to one of the esturies where a few mullet were showing. on a rrival these fish showed to be ultra spookey but eventually i got them taking bread off the surface. i managed to get 2 of them before they were spooked off by the activity. also missed one more and snapped off another :oops:

Nice fishing, those mullet certainly are a blast on the fly rod.
