Spent the long weekend at Preston Beach, went flicking a metal most mornings and arvo's, Herring were on almost the whole time. Landed 5 from 5 casts at one point.

Was doing the old hookup-and-let-missus-wind-in thing, and the first few times the herring has got off, as they do. Then i've hooked up solid and handed the rod over (with a light drag for fun) and laughed as my missus struggled with a what i thought was another herring. After a short while I realised it wasn't and began backseat fishing until she pulled up a nice little 40cm odd tailor. As i cast again hoping for another a pod of bloody dolphins came through and started chasing fish around. My missus and some other girls on the beach are all "OOOOooooooh look dolphins!"... I hate dolphins!
