Hey gents

Joining some buddies at Spray on Sunday. Searched but I didn't see much in the way updates so I thought I would ask the specific questions.

Guys having good trips out there?

Was there, this past Sunday. I had 1 bite in 3 hours, and others that I spoke with were experiencing similar luck. Might be better, now, though.

Was there with a group of 4 on sunday as well.

9am-12

We all got bites, some fish were lost and 1 fish was landed.

Very slow in my limited experience.

Get there as early as you can - usually best from sun-up to 11 or so, and try to fish as close to the new moon as possible.

Either side - although 'coming up' to the new moon is usually thought to be slightly better. And if it's during a stable high pressure system - even better
