S-Bend Report March 2012
I took the opportunity to team up with Jasfishing (Jase), his Cuz Mark and his Dad Dave over the long weekend. We met at the Tenth Light Horse (they were only 3 hours late!) and headed up up to the S-Bend. The trip was pretty cruisy for a long weekend and we arrived in time to knock a few beers over, pitch the tents etc. and go for a fish.
The first evening we hit Lucy's in perfect conditions.
The Tailor ran on Dusk but the size was a bit disappointing but made for good slabs for bait later.
Dave was wrapped. First fish in 40 years he recons. I recon it's his first fish ever!LOL
This is the time when I secretly swear at my wife. She had taken the memory card out of my camera so that's it!!!! LOL. Dave gathered heaps of pictures over the weekend so I must get in touch and get hold of some copies.
Anyway, we fished Lucy's again with little success other than a nice size Wobby. Pricks of things to skin. Guess who got that job......
Next day we cruised around with me playing tour guide. We ended up at Secret Men's Business where a fishing club had a comp and you couldn't see the ocean for rods LOL. The guys were excited. We headed across country and eventually found the Walkaway Pub. No power but the beer was cold and the gas burners were working. Now replenished we headed back to camp and the guys disappeared down the beach for some more action. Not a lot on offfer other than some soapie Mulloways - released. There were few decent Mulloway landed around 80cms and heaps of Tailor of varying sizes appeared on the cleaning table.
We were all too buggered on Monday morning so we slowly packed up the camp and headed back home.
All in all had a great time with great company. Lot's of laughs and plenty of beers consumed (not to mention the bottle of scotch). Dave cracked his first Tailor, Jase caught his first Tailor on Popper (first cast with new stick!!!!!!) and Mark continued his good form catching absolutely NOTHING LOL.
Thanks for the company guys.

getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.

Yes mate
Not sure that relaxing is the word though LOL. Dave asks way too many questions and I have a crook hip so I suffer in silence. Not going to let that stop me though. It just takes a few more Crownie pain killers than normal to get by.

No fishing this weekend mate
Taking it easy on the body and sorting out the mess in my vehicle from the pervious weekend LOL. My G/father wrote a book once that rings true... It's called "I haven't unpacked". He then wrote a follow-up called "I still haven't unpacked" (TRUE!). That about sums me up......

S bend is always a good
S bend is always a good landbased trip away. Looks like the park was pretty busy. At least you got some reasonable beach and arm bending action.
Love the West!
