Craig Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 The 'lure mule' finally arrived and, 15 000 miles later, my 3:16 Jr Wake made it to Cape Town (thanks OleechobeeJC). What a great looking lure. Quality, solid feel to it and I was dying to get it wet. We're in massive drought spell here with some of our lakes under 10% but we eventually managed to organize access to a decent piece of water. After a 3+ hour drive we arrived lake side. Luckily for the Wake Jr it traveled in style, attached to my Dobbins and not hidden in/on some mule masquerading as a IT programmer. Kick boats were set up quickly and my wife and I hit the water. At the end of my second cast I paused to appreciate a majestic fish eagle soaring in the dawn sky and BOOM! a fat largie launched out the water to greet the Wake Jr to Africa. We had a fantastic day kicking about in the cold weather. Landed plenty of fishing on the Jr. Some on or just after the pause, some super slow wake and a few cranking it down. Best fish of the day was on a fast retrieve about 4 feet down. It came unbuttoned at the boat just after I screamed "ITS A GIANT!! - as the biggest fish of the day always does...lol Sarah struggled a bit on her plastics until eventually grabbing an Undertaker. She promptly snapped it off on a BEAST! She then stole one of my wakes and landed her first swimbait fish. I think we may have another addict on our hands.
