Today feels like one of like one of them slow days, so after bum creaming duty, its off to the tackle shop and grab a bit of bait. Lin's gonna be doing a bit of the arty crafty stuff that she's so good at and would keep the local fruit and veg market going for weeks, so I'm better off out of it, gonna give Kepple bay Marina a go. The ball of me foot has swollen up a bit and I've been limping for the last couple of days, so I've got a choice of fishing the coast on one side or the Marina (if me foot plays up) on the other, so as Lin digs out the needles and felt, I grab me squid with one hand, me rod with the other and I'm off. Seven k later and I'm pulling into the car park in the marina, I check out the coast side and it ain't to bad, lots of rocks but worth a go. First cast and I hook something nice, bloody thing dives into the rocks and I lose me tackle..... OK I'm gonna give it another go. Sod this, after hooking five fish and losing four lots of tackle, (and that's painful for a fella) I finally get one of the buggers ashore (nice rock cod) and in me excitment, kick a rock with me bad foot taking the top off one of me toes. Blood and fish scales everywere, I've had enough and limp round to the marina side, gonna have a go there. After five minutes, I pull out some sort of silver type fish, bout the size and shape of a saucer I look at it and figure one of us needs a bit of luck and toss it back in. It had only just touched the water when a Comerant came out of nowere and with one gulp, it was gone. It looked like something out of a cartoon as it swam away with a huge sauser shaped lump in its throat. Seems like the fish is having the same sort of day as me. Anyway, after a couple more hours and a few of them saucer type fish later, I load the fishing gear into the car, after all, I've got a bum to face when I get home....
Love to all.
Bendigo Beach.... busy as usual..
