Hit the Pump House again on sunday. Boy was it hot... 45*C in the shade. So was the place.

We reached at around 6 and had our turtle lines out in 30 seconds flat. We call them 'turtle lines' coz that's what the smely gut/liver/fish seems to attract.

Then came the surprise. Dhruv got out a casting rod and set up a small top water plug. This stirred up the water but not the fish. Looking into my bag I found the packet of Storm softies that Bops had sent. Dhruv and I both were very skeptical as we loaded one on.

The first cast was a "hey look at how nicely it swims". The second cast was a hit but the murrel got off. The third cast was a strong hook up.

Caught and released.


And this is the way the rest of the morning went. Practically every softie got a bite. We had frogs on a couple of lines but they were nothing compared to the softies.

The one that got away!!!! In the last 15 mins I got hit by a very big murrel or mulley. It ran even though the drag was pretty tight. And then snapped the 8lbs line like thread.

Unfortunately softies don't survive after being bitten. And we ended up with just one left. BOPS NEED SOME MORE PLEASE.

thanks Ken,

didnt know that they were called softies. Seen some of my friends use them. I used to just call them flexible rubber lures

My pop had some of them in his collection, will salvage them when I get back to B'bay.

Ken/Dhruv,
are these the Gulp and other soft worm lures?
If so, wait on, I may be able to get some!
Best
