Options in my home town are freezing over so a quick trip down the coast was called for, especially after the few weeks I have faced lately. Packed up the car and headed for the upper Tuross River in search of my first Estuary Perch. My mate Craig was already fishing upstream and had landed plenty of smaller Perch.
I managed to land my first Estuary Perch about an hour after Craig left, but not before getting belted by a fiesty Black Bream on the troll ( Luckily I managed an entry for this months AKFF comp ). Caught about 10 fish in total with the majority caught on the orange PX, even though most were undersized Bream they still put up more curry than any Redfin I could have mustered up at home.
The first EP was on the PX and when returning a few hours later to the car I caught another one slightly smaller trolling an Sx40 ( Same one that got the comp entry ). Wind really started to whip up so moved off about 1:30pm, being slightly bored I decided to take the scenic route home via the lovely looking Araluen.
Have not been down that road since I was about 10 years old in the good old Landcruiser and finally saw the Deua river / camp ground Claire has been crapping on about for the last eight years ( Looks Fishy / Trouty / Bassy / fun ).
Will have to do some research, some backroads to Captains Flat that way too...
