After work session

Left work and headed to launching spot...set up my gear and then realised i had left my Phone in my work pants...
No photo's on this trip....
Launched and trolled to the venue....nothing...got there and nestled in between the rocks spinning in to deep-ish water..
Threw out lures and nothing...then put on a shad... two casts and bang ...fish on....landed ..admired and released..3 lb

Several casts later ...another about 3.5lb...returned....
Then nothing for a while then a fish and it came off.....
Then a very good take and i got pulled out of my weedy parking space... i grabbed for the rock...and oops ...very nearly went over ...
Dumb!
somehow got back in to the weed and played the fish.....nice one about 5.5lb ....
Later got a hit and my shad came back minus its red tail!!!!
Changed lure to a plain one, but nothing.......
Trolled back to launch spot...
Lesson learned....NEVER TRY TO LEAN OVER AND GRAB A ROCK...
Sorry about the lack of photo,s

Lure was just like this ...but with a red paddle tail and a mackerel pattern...


Ah....found a pic at last....tempest sidewinder...firemac
