Day 4 - Sunday 30/09

As we had to be off the water at 10am today, we thought we might launch at the Nelson boat ramp in the hope of getting out to "The Poles" for a final crack at the mulloway. As we launched, we knew this was hopeless as the wind had not abated so we went back opposite the ramp and anchored up (As we were drifting too fast). First cast I hooked what felt to be a nice EP, however the hooks pulled. This was a good sign, however after another hour of fruitless casting it may have been a fluke!

A few moves, and all I had was one small bream so we headed upriver, trying to sound up some fish. We found a few solitary fish, but none of the schools of EP's that we had located further up near Donovans/Dry Creek so we tried to head out near The Poles. It was very choppy, windy and intermittently raining so we called it a morning and headed back to the shack. 

Below are the final results:

Despite me managing about 25-30 EP's for the week, Dad struggled and didn't get one. We decided that they seem to like it if the vibe is left on the bottom for longer periods then worked slower. The other boys were fishing bait and got one size bream between them for the week, however they were in an open boat and didn't get out as much due to the inclement weather. This meant that I actually came out on top for once (78cm), Dad second (33cm) and Mauro third (With a 32cm bream he caught off the landing at the shack!).

I have to say that bait is no longer going to make it into the kayak/boat for any future bream fishing trips, as we had too much fun flicking vibes at the fish!
