Comment/Observation:
I started with my normal stealth team of Rapala Countdown 5cm Black Gold and Nils Master Floating 5cm Green Back with Yellow body. There was a tug on the Nils Master and I saw that a school of baby temensis was chasing the lure. Changing to Countdown and Nils Master 8cm Floating Green back and Yellow side did not induce them to strike. In fact the more I run the lures passed them, the less interested they become.
I had no choice but to deploy my Peacock Bass sure bite lure which is the weighted fly. Soon the bites were coming fast and furious. I even got a bonus of a 12” long Temensis. It was not considered big but I am very happy. Not bad for a short session. I will let the pictures do the talking.
All fishes were released unharmed. Hope they will have the chance to grow up and give better fight in the future.
Please practice Catch and Release. This is the best way to sustain fish stock for the future.
