Its not what you get but what you give that makes a life !!
Your right seen a few. Chasing bait right under our feet ..just won't take the Toby, bit of rain tonight may change water clour enough for us to trip em up.
Nil durum volenti !!
try a whitebait type fly..tied about a meter up from your toby...two ways to do it. either tidy swivel and thread fly on above it,curve of hook towards main line so it tucks in....or have about 8" of line out to side,either a loop..not so flash of again tiny swivel and leave a long tag end..... beauty of this is it looks like toby is chasing the smelt/bait...you will have 50% hook ups on fly/spinner but be bloody careful when go to net fish as that other hook in net and fish not in and your in the shit...
75/15/10 black powder matters
Rain over night so a fresh in the river ....check
Up early to get the change of light ....check
Plenty of out going current so the bait will swim the sides of the river
Check.
Got a BIG bucket for all your catch ....check
Got black n gold Toby's....check
All our ducks in a row...check ....

Size 4 or 6 grey ghost wet fly will catch the hungry browns.
Ah Joe those zero baits make a very light meal when you whisk them up into a fritter. Ha ha ha ha. Keep at it mate.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

Tried for a flounder on softbaits this morning, fishing the incoming tide, no luck. Bit early for Kahwai to be chasing bait up the creek, so into gathering mode.
The estuary provides again, cockles cooked in cream with onions, garlic and parsley all from the garden. Served on cursty sour dough and a crisp hazy pale ale. Perfect starter to the weekend.

I got same day, went for try my new gear for softbaiting bluecod but got lots of snags because I was using a 1.55m rod. Then drove further to a bay, and I found lots of mussel big ones, a dead shell was bigger than my shoe. I wear size 9. Anyway did `t come back with empty hands
So be it
