Farm

Date: 9 Sept 18
Weather: Overcast and 19
Crew: Toon & Jax
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Various lures 
Gear Used: Fishing rods. 
Catch: 0
Report: Went to the farm and had a crack at the monsters in the dam. No fish were interested in the lures, didnt see one swimming after them nor did we get a hit. Good day practicing to cast but Jax really needs a better reel.   
Report: 6/10


Mordialloc Pier

Date: 8 Sept 18
Weather: Fine and 18
Crew: Toon, Jax & Millie
Target Fish: Salmon 
Bait: - Metal slugs (bumpa-bar 25g, halco twisty 25g) 
Gear Used: Fishing rods. 
Catch: 0
Report: Jax again bugging me that we havent been fishing for ages, so needed to wet a line! Checked out MetEye and the bay was calm so took the fam down to Mordialloc pier hoping to cast into schools of salmon swimming up and down the pier. Got some hot chips, walked to the pier and starting casting some lines into the water. No salmon schools were in sight today though. Some decent sized bait balls around and birds diving into get them, but no salmon around. Very nice relaxing session with the fam.  
Report: 8/10 Perfect day for practicing casting. Jax has figured it out, but his $10 anaconda reel is a piece of shit.
