    Stayed for a night session hoping the weather would settle but it didnt, still had 3 hits with 2 solid hook ups - the first busting me off in short time - landing the 2nd, a chunky 6lb jack that fought like a demon

    You should have hit that bugger with a dead fall branch and had Trout for dinner mate.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    @Nick.m yeh mate theres a few moving through, not huge numbers though, you have to work a bit. I hooked 5 over a few hours, mate hooked 3 and the other 2 guys fishing same pool all had success with some nice conditioned chromies putting up some good fights.
    Another fresh or 2 should get it even better
