Gunnamatta Spinning

Location: Gunnamatta Surf BeachDate: 10-June-2019
Weather: Sunny, gnarly crosswind
Crew: Ross, Toon, Dave, Bilsy
Target Fish: Salmon
Bait: Metal lures:
Berley: None
Catch: 1 Salmon - Ross
Report: Very unpleasant conditions for surf spinning. Worked a few spots for about an hour and a half before throwing in the towel. Things looks promising for a moment when a seal showed up and started chasing fish. Was good to get out with a big crew and belt out some lures. 

Rating: 6/10. Was upped from 4/10 because of the post-session fish and chips.

Report: Bloody perfect weekend for fishing. Headed to Ovens river just out the back of Bright Accomodation Park where we stayed. Flicked lures upstream, snagging a small rainbow and tiny brown. Lost a horse of a trout in one pool he jumped off, was a heavy bugger!! Awesome times. Jax had a flick or two, but river fishing isnt easy for the little fella.

Murrindindi River

Date: 26 Jan19
Weather: Hot
Crew: Toon & Willo
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: Green Spinner
Gear Used: Fishing rod
Catch: 1 small rainbow
Report: Very tough conditions fishing through Murrindindi. Low water levels this time of year and lots of overhang and fallen trees makes it hard to cast into good spots. Lots of fish around though, saw heaps as you walked through and over obstacles. Didnt lose a lure in all this stuff which was good, and caught the little fella on the last cast. Too relaxing and awesome as usual. Finished off by swimming at Wilhelmina Falls

Cray Session

Date: 29 Dec 18
Weather: Warm, overcast
Crew: Dave, Bilsy
Target Fish: Crays
Bait: BBQ steak
Gear Used: Line, no hook
Catch: 6 (took 4 home)
Report: Been meaning to head out for a dedicated cray session for a while. Walked about 50 m upstream from the car, threw in the first line and hooked up a dirty eel in about 3 seconds. Saw a monster cray immediately after, spent about 30 mins trying to get him. Set about 6 lines, checked every 20 mins or so. Bilsy pulled in the first one straight after throwing the line in. We changed our approach, pulled in all set lines and decided to target specific spots. Next cray pulled was a monster, was a two man job to land him. Ended up taking 4, all caught within about hour. Could have easily bagged out. Saw a fight between an eel and a cray, and saw a couple of river black fish. Was a fun session. 

Boiled for about 8 mins, eaten with a bit of lemon. Delicious!
