    Went out this morning for a bit of spinning on my local, caught one/lost one.

    So far its 3 for 4 trips since I hooked my first, each a little bigger than the last and I'm seeing a lot more fish. Pretty happy.

    Lost a few scales because I panicked when it dropped the hook as I was landing it (net out of reach), it put up a good fight.



    Cheers,

    Vincent

    After having trouble with getting strikes but no hook ups, lost 8 on Friday nite. I have since tied the fly to a shorter not smaller hook. Last nite I lost one and landed one. The one I landed was in very good condition around 6lbs. Have filleted it for tea tonite.

    This morning Rambo and I headed down river, caught three, released two due to their size. We sighted quite a few more. All an all a good morning.

    1. catch and release.

    Taupo is magic today, went out to the left, round the point from Whangamata Bay Kinloch. Nice rainbow off the reef approx 35 metres. Hit the ginger mock just as it hit the bottom, probably filled them down. Good strong fight on light jigging gearName: image.jpg Views: 304 Size: 955.2 KBName: image.jpg Views: 251 Size: 939.6 KBName: image.jpg Views: 348 Size: 580.0 KBName: image.jpg Views: 264 Size: 560.6 KBName: image.jpg Views: 246 Size: 623.9 KBName: image.jpg Views: 371 Size: 452.1 KB

    Not often the lake stays like that all day, can't beat a day on the lake when it's like that, good old ginger mick never fails, spent the rest of the day sleeping and polishing the boat @Raging Bull

    What river you fishing? Love those stones river beds, lived in Masterton in my youth, fished the Waipoua, Waingawa Rumahanga and the lake that fed the power station out Gladstone, good perch fishing there in those days
