Snag bashing day 1

On day one after picking up my mate we headed on up to the fishing spot, after a long walk through the mangroves we emerged in a little creek, making our way along sand flat to the main creek. We made our way out on the flowing channel, staying on the sandbar and avoiding the rays shooting off in front of us. After a few casts into the snags a trevally was pulled out and taken to the bank for a quick photo before release, although not a second after spearing it back into the channel a big white sea eagle swooped down and took this catch, having to hold it in both claws. The best few cast produced some nice hits but after a perfectly placed cast between two fallen trees a Barra was enticed onto the hook after two quick flicks and a pause of the weedless Rigged A.T. worm.

 

The screams from the reel was amazing as the Barra peeled line off bolting for the snags, leaping in the air and holding itself in the current, this fight was second to none.  Another two barra followed for that day long with cod. It was found putting these plastics under the overhanging sticks and deep into the mangroves well and truly in the shade is when the fish struck, which came as no surprise considering it was mid-day. The Sebile A.T worm was clearly a cut above the rest.

Fish light, get the bite,
