Peppered the shallow flats for half an hour, for nought. That said, a big stingray swam over my line/lure at one point causing me to fear for the welfare of my newly-rigged lure. This morning I started on one of my local spots on the flats. I did have one moment where I hooked something BIG but it came off after a few headshakes. Part of this is because I was fishing weedless***, the other part is likely that my usual small flatties have been attacking the lure.
Sure, I've been finding fish, but my hookup rate has been dismal. The past week I've been fishing solidly for not a lot of fish. I have to admit, I barely know myself, fishing such 'large' lures! 🤣 I'm sure they aren't large for many anglers, but they are for me! I actually don't own much heavier than that for lure chucking (although if this big lure thing catches on, I might well get myself a heavier outfit, or at least a rod capable of casting heavier weights). Out with the 1-3 and 2-4kg outfits, in with a 3-5kg combo. I have also had a mishap with the tip on my light spinning rod which I haven't got round to fixing, so that was all the encouragement I needed.
Have been consciously working on my bigger lure game of late, after reading reports and talking to fellow raiders.
