Sport: It doesn’t get much better than this! I have had 4 boats come in with 20 plus fish!! I can keep the tactics short and sweet, Black and Green is doing all the work be it Fritz patterns or even boobies. Lines to be on are Di 3’s and Intermediates. The areas to be are still the northern shallows, be it Phil’s flats or around Willow. I did notice that a lot of fish have come from the bottom of Gull Island and that Ben Baylis and Adam Larbalester were picking up fish over deeper waters about 50 yards out from Willow Island.
John Forster takes the top rod honours today with a staggering 17 fish, using the exact tactics as above. Not far behind was Dave O’Gradey with 15 fish including a lovely rainbow of 12lb 4oz.
On the bank thing have been a little quieter although Steve Cowperthwaite had 12 trout from Newclose on his own tied green buzzer, Steve’s buzzer has a short green marabou tail, although it sounds odd he swears by it and consistently does well with it to boot!
Very tight lines Matt.
