west lakes 15th feb

[Mickyj]

After Saturday's zero day fish wise,I decided to try a new spot at West Lakes.
Arriving at a little beach not very far away from AAMII stadium (football park to us oldies).A very strong southerly blowing around 20 knots .
I put on one of my bait fish imitation flies and nothing changing flies nothing.Finally I decided to put a Bass Gurgler(an aussie fly used in the eatsern states) on .
Well why didn't I try this earlier 20 fish tried hitting this surface fly and number 15 gave me a great big laugh.Its been many many months since I landed such a tiny Bream.
After that I hat five more hits but no more strikes.
So at the end of 1 1/2 hour session with bait fishers invading and kids in kayaks I decided to head home .

With a smile on my dial thanks to a tiny yellow fin bream.

Hey don't knock it...a fish is a fish no matter what size

Although admittedly something a little larger would be nice...like your fabulous perfoming fish from last year with the great expressive faces but at least you're catching some now.

Geez I hope my Camera skills improve then
And your right a fish is a fish .
If I could have recorded on video Jas, what the Bream were doing you all would have been jumping like I was at times
You know your waiting waiting for that moment and bang up they jump just like in a slasher movie .
