Weekend Report

Hi everyone,

Just a quickie today. Its late in the day and im coming off the back of two days in bed sick.

I hit the Hawkesbury river on saturday with two local tackle store gurus. The main aim was to hit a nice jewie on sp's. Been doing well recently and i put it down to s-factor. The new squidy scent is dynamite for turning lookers into takers. I used to sound out jewies all the time but would only have a 30% strike rate even once sounded out.

Now the s-factor has improved that equation. I reckon i'm hooking 60% of the jewies i sound out. Big call...but it seems that way at the moment. Only time will tell.

So we did manage to wrangle a samll soapy out of a new hole i havent flicked before. It looked the goods, had a nice colour change, a deep drop off, reef bottom, an eddie and panned out to a nice mud flat. All the ingredients for a good bag of fish. Sure enuf we got our mark. Also throw in a couple of good flatties as well.

Admittedly it was a tough day. Mooney ck was devoid of life and wind showed up....again. Seems like November 08 will be remembered for the gail winds and lack of fish. No surprise really. November in sydney is typically bad. But the good news is December usually fires up so bring it on.

I made a personal goal at the start of the year to knock over a jew over 20kgs on plastix in 08. Ive got 1 month to go. So far all i've got is a 11kg model. Cross my fingers.
