Just changed the fly line and put on a 20 lb tapered leader to try and improve my casting.
I put on a small white baitfish imitation fly
Went down to the small creek in front of the ski club.
Got there just on the top of the tide
Upon arrival I started to practice casting near the mouth but struggled to get any distance.
Things looked fishy with small jelly prawns everywhere so I kept on casting.
As I was standing next to the water a school of small trevally started smashing up the prawns.
I was just about hitting them on the head with the fly and had a few hits but they were too small to take the hook.
As the school moved out I found a few trevs had beached themselves and grabbed 2 for bait.
Kept on casting into the area where the creek was now running out and got a solid hook up.
The fish immediately took to the air with some great jumps.
With the heavy gear it was quickly landed.
I first thought it was a blue salmon but as it came out the water I was stoked to see my first giant Hearing and on fly.
A few quick photo's and a short swim the fish swam away strongly.
I was quite pleased but still need a lot more casting practice
Nothing else for the rest of the short session.
