Ok it was a warm morning in Adelaide I headed off to the Patawalonga to flick a lure . Water was dead calm lots of bait fish and Salmon Trout were jumping and in large circles !! It was 6.50 am and bam . Thought I'd hooked a Salmon Trout but it kept running my drag was screaming !! It kept running my reel was screaming I did slightly tighten it !! but it kept running
Finally with a crowd of 8 or so watching me I landed this 26 cm mullieway . Not huge but my first mullieway I'm still smiling !! But as it got on dry land it spat the lure into my neck lucky it didn't stick !! What am I saying I didn't care I landed it !!

Yep got to the Pat and the wind was a blowing . Thought is it to rough ? ST's were jumping so that gave me some hope !! I wont bore everyone to long . Took me a short time(felt like an hour) landed a tiny ST . Nothing then nothing kept slowing down the retrieve and finally(felt like two hours had gone by they hadn't) BANG!! Yep another 40 cm jewie
And yes I did have the drag too lose kept tightening it and I love the run in these things god I do !! And when they come up to the top love it !! This one is so pretty Anyway when they that lure stopped getting attention I swapped to the one I bought yesterday landed a small bream on it !! Final total 6 ST's on three different minnows 1 20cm bream 1 40cm jewie
And I cut the session short got learn to dress warmer on colder mornings . Still need a landing net lmao
