was fishing up at my favourite campsite at rules beach one arvo having no luck at all. no fish no bites nothing when my wife found an old wobbler lure that was washed up on the shore, no trebles on it so i put in my tackle bag and continued to fish with o action at all. My mind wandered so i thought i would take a closer look at this lure. After further inspection i noted that it was covered in some pretty serious teeth bites so i whacked on a couple of trerbles and thought i would give her a flick. First cast i got slammed and pulled in a nice flattie at 50cm.
I tried many different combos over the next week but always went back to this crusty old lure which always seemed to catch fish when i used her?
The best fish i got on that lure was a 77cm flat head,a personal best, but was busted off on a bigger one not long after, distressed about losing the only lure that was working for me, i began cleaning the catch wondering how i was oing to fish with no real bait or lures and a week toi go on my trip?
I grabed the remains of my flattie went to the waters edge to throw her in and as soon as she hit the water, beach worms came up from everywhere, you bloody ripper!
I managed to use that stinky flathead for a week, pulling worms for the rest of the week and keeping the rod bent with flathead dart whiting and even a small school jew!
From i am just about ready to go home to one of the most memorabloe camping trips. Isnt it funny how things work sometimes??
