I was out on billing's spit today and there were lots of fish around. None of them liked what I was serving up to them though. There were a couple guys fly fishing out there that caught a couple nice bright chums.
Had a chat with one of them and he seems to think that the spoon my local tackle shop recommended was way too big, but he also said he only fly-fishes so he didn't know for sure. There were a couple of dark chums near the shore, I tried waving the spoon in front of them to see if they were interested in it, but it's like they didn't even see it.
Maybe I'm just a really bad fisherman and doing something wrong altogether. Or maybe I'm not in the right spot to be using spoons? I was right out at the end of the spit. Should I have gone closer to the bridge?
Maybe I should try again tomorrow with a flyrod instead. Seemed to work for those two.
