With Canberra and most of the Southern East coast states in the middle of a very unseasonal heatwave, the wind was blowing up to 20+ knots on Lake Burley Griffin... wasnt to keen for a yak ( even after last weeks effort ) because of the high winds.
My Girlfriends friends Fiance ( bahhh... lets call him Danny! ) was keen for some perch after i showed him the images of the Golden, I decided bad wind or not we were gonna have some fun anyway.
Claire and i arrived around 10:30 and launched with the wind from Weston Park, trolling around the immediate areas and holes whilst waiting for Danny... by the time 1:00pm hit we were both sunburned and dissapointed, no hook ups.
Claire disembarked and Danny and I set out ( Once again, with the wind ) around the sheltered section of Black Mountain in search of the Perch, almost immediately once rounding the points into calmer water i pulled up a 25cm Redfin on another Kilalure Pakrat ( Bought some more after losing my fave last weekend ).
Lots of carp around with the topic turning to Carp taking lures, ive spoken to many explaining ive seen Carp following my lures but that i actually didnt belive it was possible ( IE : a myth ) and as i said my predictable 'Oh well' Dannys small Rebel Crawdad got taken by something bigger, he called snag... I called Yella... and up came this 40cm Carp which was landed with the assist of my environet.
1hr later on the return another 20cm+ Redfin taken, Danny notching up his second Yak fish... pretty good angler, needless to say i was dumbfounded by the Carp whilst Danny had a ball and was screaming 'Convert!' by the time we landed at the ramp ( Approx - 5pm ).
Doubt i will go for a yak tommorow though, meeting Red & Co for pasta and with the ribbing Claire and i will get about our sunburn im sure i will need a small corner to crumple up in.
