MISSING : 3'C and cobalt blue

took the old man out for a troll to rotto today.

 

the whole way from woodies to west end, the water was murky green, and struggled to get over 23'c, averaging no more than 23.5'c. a bit different to 2 weeks ago, where it was 26'c+, cobalt blue, and you could cleary see the bottom in 40m, let alone the free swimming dolphinfish we saw.

 

i was understanderbly sceptical of the conditions, but the targets were still around (as long as you are looking in the right places). the first was a double hook up, but after i get dad set up, mine had spat the hooks.

 

back home by 12.30.

got lucky in the cooler stuff.... location and common sense with lure choice helps though.

 

yep dumper, good spotting. he potentially held the australian record for mulloway from wagoe.
