Weekend capers

A few weeks ago we decided to plan a session with family to try and fish one of  our favorite venues, Corriloch wedding venue and koi farm.
This boutique venue has really become a special place in our hearts.

We arrived late on Friday evening and set up as quickly as possible. We dropped our lines and hoped and were quickly on the fish losing one in the reeds that was sure to be a “biggun” bending open the hook and wrapping us around a sunken tree.

Our runs came in sporadically with Rudi landing a small but pretty common and myself a lovely little lump.

The cold front rolled in on Saturday and the weather turned a bit. We were cold but still persevered and got the spots fizzing. We had constant liners and a few solid runs. By the end of Saturday we had landed 6 pretty commons all over the 4kg mark.

On Sunday the weather had cleared a bit. We continued to fish while we dragged our heels packing up. The fishing Gods heard our grumbles and blessed us with quite a few runs. Our time meant to be packing was spent running between pods and dropping lines.

We manged 24 runs with 17 fish landed, only two of them under the 3kg mark. Little Emma even managed a new mirror PB of 6.4kg catching the same fish Tarryn caught last year and bettering her mom’s mirror PB by 200g!

Proline boilies, Nash popups were the baits of the weekend. Tackle and bankware as always supplied by the one and only SNZ Tackle.

We finished the weekend tired and smelling like fish, the way any good weekend should be.
