Short but sweet, The working week is coming to an end and the fishing competition is about to commence for the month so a pre-fish was in order, not many takers for this evening but only the strong survive so myself, Victor and Cod Whisperer ( known as Funda ) met at Black Mountain peninsula to find a spot out of the wind in search of the perch ( English / Golden ) and any other native available in Lake Burley Griffin...
A short paddle to the right of the ramp revealed no rowers ( A first for me I might add ) and the location of a specific snag which has yielded some hefty Golden Perch ( Victors 55cm Yellowbelly & Allan's 65cm Yellowbelly ), we found a small patch that was for the most out of the wind which has cursed the national capitals urban lakes all month. Spinnerbaits and Jackals were thrown for some smaller Redfin around 6:30pm but after 7:30pm the bigger schools moved in with plenty of 30cm Redfin going absolutely bezerk belting our Jackals from up, down and side on and got a decent double hookup with 2 fish on the 1 lure, one which reached 33cm, Funda managed a double too while Victor battled down the ledge with the wind in search of something bigger ( Many branches were maimed with regress from the Prowlers captain ).
Got some good photos and managed to have a great afternoon even if we were only on the water for 2.5 hours, any fishing trip afterwork is a bonus but for me it made the working week worth it with only Friday remaining before the AKFF monthly fishing competition... Beware guys, I can feel some cranky massive English Perch around the 15cm mark ruining your chances but from the skills of the guru lately I would suggest some big fish may be on the cards, the Canberra yak community keeps getting bigger and bigger and its about time we were given a name, dont you think? ( KKK seems a little topical but may work ), what you think it stands for I will leave up to your imagination.
Bring on this weekend...
