The Queen's Birthday






Every state here in Aus has it's own day to celebrate the birth of the English Queen. (go figure)

All it meant to us when it came for NSW to have it's celebration was that we have one more day to hit the water!

fly casting, spinning and just drift baiting were the go.

the winds played up quite a bit and we stuck to pretty well known spots.This strategy paid off and we enjoyed a decent haul albit the fact that the tiddlers were out in full force!

Spinning in the Rain







Hi all,

We have been having horrible weather as of late. Work schdules and studies have sadly taken precedence over the fishing. Did some fly work on the odd break but had little to show for it.

Thought things would change when all in the team got some time off work over the last weekend.

The first day out was an absoulte bummer with one of our frequented spots not yeilding much in terms of quality fish. Not to say that quantities were encouraging either.


Managed to salvage the weekend though.

Went for a short spin on sunday with Jake. Landed 4 decent flatties and a nice tailor. Dropped a bream. Though all were caught on spin gear, it was a great day despite bad weather and little promise of anything fruitful.

enjoy the pics and tight lines!

Carp pond Madness





As some of you might already know, I have relocated to the eastern side of sydney. This brought with it a new hunt for spots and new quarries.

I have yet to fulfil the dream of sight casting to a Mulloway and landing one on fly but I'm sure we'll get there some day.


For the time being I'm completely stoked by my new carp pond!

wife actually told me she saw a couple of fishermen here on the weekdays casting flies to no avail.

I decided to give it a crack and am happy to report the discovery of a new "sure catch pond"

Average sessions here (2 so far) do not go beyond an hour and I will definately see a fish of above 10lbs everytime.

took a mate of mine there for my second vist.

To date I have landed 3 carps and dropped just as many. Bang for buck, I've found a new home! enjoy the pics

Fishin' blues




It's been a really really long time since Justin or myself has posted a word on this site.

We've been busy. Work commitments, post Grad studies and the F***ked up economic situation meant that many of our fishing plans had to be shelved till our lives moved into a more stable spot. (if we get sponsors that would be better. But till then we're worker before anglers.


It's not that we haven't wet a line. It's just that we haven't had much time to do so.

Here are some pics to entertain you if you're reading from the office.



Tight
lines!
