Post Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 7:18 pm    Post subject: Epic sooty adventure!!

On the weekend I did a bit of exploring and come across some untouched waters.
The sooty grunter here have more than likely never seen a person or a lure and it was almost a fish a cast in most of the holes we fished. One fish I pulled in had 5 or 6 mates following it, so I quickly unhooked it and recast my lure at the biggest fish in the pack and caught it too.
I also managed a new PB which would be around 50cm+ (measured on a rod which I was borrowing) so I will find out the exact measurement soon.
Check out my blog for the full report.

Cheers mate!! Just found out the Australian record is 2.25kg, I reckon this one would have given it a nudge.

Aren't they counting the sooties in the dams down there? I've seen some sooties in peter faust and timbeerwah dams that'd just about eat a 2.25 kg for brekky
cracking fish :cheers:
