Morning before leaving

Had fun at the jetty using soft plastics to catch leather jackets.  Caught a John Dory -- the first time I have caught one of these!!!!

And then a pod of dolphin swam by.  They were a lot closer, but it took me time to get my phone out!!!!

Switch rod try out

At Freycinet for 3 days.

I used my switch rod with its matching switch line.  What a transformation.  This thing shoots for miles.  I can cast almost as far as a spinning rod!!!!

I need to get a 7 weight reel for my 5 weight rod though!!!  The switch line is extra thick!

Got a small wrasse in close.  Lost a fly (didnt feel anything -- probably a couta), and had a soft touch that took the tail off a flyrod size soft plastic.
