yEP shikari would be the go but i have heard that they are booked out .

I also heard that even on a bad day they hook up and land 40 sambos.
Most get released

The boat we used cost $1500 for the full day... so we thought 6 max would be best but I'll join whatever is happening

if we got 14 dosent mean everyone is fishing at once i mean after one fish your pretty stuffed fr a bit anyway

Well with all this talk about golden ponds , i thought i would go take a look see.

Got down there and bought some tinned corn, some pellets and walked to the pond behind the shop where you pay. I couldnt belive my eyes! Some real big rainbow trout in there.

I tryed puttint the pellets on the hook but they were tiny round hard things and wouldnt go on the hook and kept braking.

I tryed the corn but the trout were very cautious! They would come up for a look but swim awaywithout taking it.
I came up with a idea of flicking it out an jigging it like a insect through the water alost like a lure and sure enough thats what they liked. Caught 5 and kept 3 .
All in all a good day out!

I caught my first Dhuie!!!! Just scratchin 9kg 8)

I also landed 2 nice pinkies

Now for the funny part, guess what bait i was using????????

Strips of rainbow trout!!!!!

I had 1 left over from golden pond and i chucked in in the freezer to use for bait.

In the pics you can see the occy on the top hook but the botton hook had the rainbow trout on it and was the only hook out of the 2 that the fish would touch :lol:

Might have to go back to golden ponds and get some more trout :lol:

Bodie got a snapper and a shark of some decription. I had a solid hookup on a freight train. I managed to get some line back before it spat the hook but it was HUGE!!!!

Here are some pics of the dhuie...
(Thanks Bodie, great pic)
