Never did get that big one, but did manage to get one around 38" and a couple slightly smaller.

I was lucky cuz yesterday and fishing in two feet of water give or take half a foot I would drift right over them or by them.
Started off with bigger presentations and they bolted but the Len Thompson no13 and the colours was the ticket as they committed big time.
There was a fella in the same bay as me in his kayak so about two hours I paddled over to find him only catching a few so I showed him the lure I was using and he managed a spoon close in colour and size.
In a short time he caught 24 and was so happy. I could hear him hooting and laughing getting towed around! I also told him to not go deep as they are laying in the shallow water post spawn.
Great times.
