thanks guys the wife was still very happy to day till she hooked up with what was probably even bigger , well on its first run it almost spooled her I had to put the boat in reverse & chase it we had water coming up over the pod but we eventually got the line back onto the reel almost got the fish to the boat when
the fish straightened out her snap lock & stole her silver viper then she got her gold viper snagged & that was it no more vipers . I lost about two other lures & three soft plastics but on the possitive side we are getting better at getting lures out of trees . will have to get more lures two days left for me to break my duck
cheers jimmy .....................

[haggis]

no fish today , lost some more lures ( this trip is going to cost a small fortune )seen 118 cm getting cleaned a the camp cleaning table

[darylive]

Gotta love the Vipers! 118 on the cleaning table? must be hard up for a feed?

[warrior]

118 on the cleaning table worse than hard up for a feed i reckon,:-/ i would rather eat catties

[NAGG]

118 on the cleaning degreasing table worse than hard up for a feed i reckon,:-/ i would rather eat catties


Its certainly a shame to see a trophy fish knocked on the head :-[

I have to come clean instead of just enjoying watching NAGG copping it about the Vipers (must be new years good will and stuff). I can't been able to catch anything on them either. I still have the first one I bought in the late nineties (from the caravan park at Awoonga from memory). Down to three now lost two on snaggs.

I like the look of them, good action , nice hardware, well made, trolls well, Aussie, etc. Just haven't been able to get anything (not even a bump) on them. Tried casting and trolling.

Done ok with the smaller boomerangs on bass, saratoga and yellow belly but Vipers are in the back of the bottom of lure drawer now.

Bad luck Jimmy, least the missus got a nice fish and is keen to go back.
Whre did you see most fish caught, still trolling basin and Bass Straight areas?
Shame about the big fish at the fillet table, but as long as they were in bag and size, what can you do?
What is bag at the moment, arent we in closed season with one fish per angler in posession from a stocked impoundment only?
cheers

Pete .... I reckon you should try to make it to one of our gatherings ----- one night we could have a viper burning night - --- > I reckon Brian would join us too .

All good here .... every one knows how much I dislike vipers -- I actually blame Matty Fraser (Dam Hot 2) ....... I told him that he owes me for the 6 vipers I bought & still own ....... did you know they multiply :o 8 now :( - Even the bower bird that I fish with leaves them alone when he comes across one on a barra dam ;D

Chris

[BR65]

Im down to 1 x Viper only, and Im saving it for the day the dam rises 30 foot over nite and I have to troll the basin.
I plan to swap the viper for a beer with a Victorian fisho, drink the beer, and watch HIM troll it around all day!

Brian & I both have a passionate dislike for vipers :-X Have you ever tried to cast one :o ..... .no bloody wonder they get trolled :'(

Chris

[matt fraser]

Tough luck Jimmy, Damn frustrating fish at times. Well done to the missus! but if you were driving the boat, you can take some credit.....I would anyway!

Go the Vipers! It takes real skill to tow such a lure to tempt barra:P , Castiacs like Nagg will never appreciate such talent! ;D So they give up and cast slick rigs and X Raps?:D

Cheers,

Matt

If I was lucky enough to win the viper pack - I'd gladly donate them

[haggis]

the only legal barra in my boat were caught on vipers one flicking the lure & the two others trolling all caught by my wife the only two barra ive caught were on a gold bomber shallow flicking at timber but three years between fish is getting hard to take .
cant wait till next trip .
cheers jimmy ...........

It is a shame about keeping big fish but some times you have to . I caught fish with trebles in eyes and badly bleeding from the gills and some just have died in the boat The fish i keep generaly go to people in need who are very greatfull for the help out. your missus caught some great fish shame about the weater. it can be a hard place to fish in those conditions. well done

I'm totally with you on this lifestyle ....... much better to make use of a fish that is doomed rather than letting it go & having it go belly up anyway .........

Chris

[Steve B]

Well done on a decent trip Jimmy. hope you and the missus had enough fun to come back again...I reckon you will do better next round. most do, there is no substitute for experience....dont let the viper jibes hurt!!!...I reckon they rock...If I am trolling 12-15ft...first lure used!!..good stuff again mate. Shame I have been at work, would have tried to catch up.!!

Cheers Steve

[haggis]

lifestyle i agree with not wasting the fish but if possible i would always rather see them swim away .
steve we will be back , the weather didnt bother us we were well used to lots of rain back home . hopefully next time i will land a fish . thats two day trips and one full week also with out landing a fish ..
cheers jimmy
