Finally broke my slump

[ctranter]

Well folks, after several weeks of failed outtings and a few lost fish along the way, I managed to land my first steelie of the season today. Up to this morning I was starting to get really frustrated (6 consecutive skunks in a row), and everyone I was talking to was telling me that I was doing everything right, and fishing in the right places. I guess Thursdays rain was the key as I was seeing a lot more fish in the river, and I was starting to see some actual hook ups.

 

This guy slammed a roe bag and even showed me a little aerial action as well. I was so nervous that I was going to lose it by the shore that I nearly went face first into the creek jumping down the bank.

 

Sorry for the bad cell phone pic:

 

 

 

15 minutes later I landed a second, slightly bigger, with the same beautiful silver shine. Whats a better way to celebrate this huge load off my chest than my favourite brew, and some lunch!

 

 

I'm officially addicted, what a rush. I can't wait to get out and do it all again
