Hope everyone has a great day.
The rain has stopped so off I go on my Birthday hunt road trip.
Will throw a picture up if there's a little bit of a keeper showing in the dirt.
Providing there's a connection.
Happy Birthday Peps!
 

I took my misses out today to a country town she loves, whole day was a 230km round trip. She loves the place as it has old time opp shops and knows the old ladies in them. Me, nah sit in the car.
But, the rule was "ok but we go the long way, added 50km to it, and I fish in my favourite little reservoir for just 1 hour!"
We did. Was at about the 50 minute mark and I see she isn't comfortable, she isnt well and hasn't been for several years so I say "ok, we go to the town". She says "no, im ok I love it here it's like being in Gods country".
I say "ok, two more casts". Cast and see a flock of parrots fly over the lake towards me, fumble and miss the good shot and just catch them going past on the left.
Last cast. 30 foot from the bank and BOOM! I thought maybe I had a snag up on the submerged trees. Nope, it was a fish. The drag peeled off, then running into some visible tree branches sticking out near shore. Im "pass the net quick this is a thumper". Convinced it was a big trout seeing the water boils. Going one way, then the other. Finally in the net!
It was 2 nice size Redfin, (english perch) on the 1 lure. The both must have smashed it at the same time. Iv saltwater fished with two, three hooks on droppers and had multiple hookup but never freshwater on 1 small lure.
We both laughed our heads off. I said before we went, "im gonna be happy with 1 good fish for us both". We got two on the last cast. 😆
Classic, in the fridge and will eat, they are beautiful to eat. Great day.
Parrots flying past.
