Sunday at Augusta
Submitted by stephenm on Mon, 2013-05-06 13:17
Hi guys, just a quick report from my fishing trip yesterday at Augusta in my tinnie. Fishing in 15m of water with a mate using bait and I using a white ZMAN 7in plastic. One minute into fishing had a strike and after a good fight a 14.5kg Dhuie floated up (my mate hadn't even baited his hooks yet. We got the fish on board and I flicked the plastic back in and started to place the fish in the esky when the rod went off again, after another short fight a 8kg Dhuie surfaced. Not bad with only 10 minutes of fishing. We fished for another hour and ended up with 2 Nannies, sweep and a good sized bronzie. Back at the boatramp in under two hours from when we left. Sorry about the long story but thought I would share our great morning. Cheers

Be patient and calm - for no one can catch fish in anger

the Nannies were caught in
the Nannies were caught in 13m of water, probably one of the shallowest places I have ever caught them! Like you most of the time they are in 30 plus metres. Hopefully photo following soon!
