i had purchased a mepps no 1 which was not seeing much use.every time i used it i did not have a single bite so it sat in the tackle box.
i decided to cast it out of sheer boredom as i was not getting bites on anything else. on the second cast i felt a pull,quickly relinquished. i made another cast and got a bite. after a bit of a tussle the fish ran off. i had my hopes up and kept casting it and tried to vary the retrieve speed.
after a few more cast i had a hit. fought the blighter for around 2-3 mins and landed this 2 pound mulley. this is the first fish i landed on a spinner. the fight on roughly a quarter drag was good and i shall shortly be cured of my habit of winching fish out of cover.

ACe Doc,

You are on to many species in a short span. Orrisa seems like the place to be!! Good show, keep it up and stay away from Lila :-)

Nice mulley.

Mepps spinners are the best lures for catfish, get some No. 3s, 4s and 5s and youll hook lunker mulleys.
