Headed out to the creek for a quick two hour session on Sunday afternoon, I shouldn’t have! Had just travelled back from Bathurst on the Sunday and was reasonably hung-over. Kanck was out there as in his Hobie but I couldn’t be bothered getting mine so I just walked the bank. The water looked really good and the creek actually came up about 15cm while I was there. I used a variety of smaller lures, teeny extractors, 50ml AC, small stumpy. I lost three lures and was not happy! I am not having the greatest of runs with lures that’s now five that I have lost in my last 4 trips. I am putting down two of the lost lures to being hung-over, I would normally take my time but I got frustrated very easily and ended up snapping the line with my retrieval pole. Very stupid of me, but as they say if you’re not getting snags you won’t catch fish.... at least I was doing one of those things! I lost a small JD lure because it got snagged around a f#@king set line. That gives me the shits.... f#@king setlines!

| Kanck's 45cm Golden |
I would have pumped 200 casts off the weir wall for maybe one hit, but I may have just imagined that. As soon as Kanck pulled up in his yak and let a cast go off the wall BANG he was on to a nice 45cm Golden. We both had a chuckle to each other about that, got some quick snaps and let the big fella swim off again. Kanck trolled up one other fish before this, but it was only a small Golden.

After seeing him catch that Golden off the wall I quickly realised that it wasn’t my day and I probably should have just stayed on the couch and watched a movie, so I headed back to the car.
Plenty of rain predicted for this week could play havoc with the creek again. I wouldn’t mind heading off to an impoundment after some big Golden’s this weekend. Hopefully soon I write a post about catching lots of fish and not losing lures!
