morning outing

I went out for a few hours last Saturday morning and fished the Campaspe river for 2 hrs as the sun rose on the water. I caught a total of 14 fish between 15 and 20cm with no real exceptional periods to speak of due to the clarity of the water. It seemed as though the fish were a little more cautious than when the water was clouded slightly. Many fish followed the lures all the way to my feet without striking and even a school of 6 fish followed in one hooked fish early on. I did get a good strike on a large lure that seemed a big fish but he got off before I could see him. Shortly before leaving a large carp started cruising back and forth in front of me and I snapped a picture.
