Mersey River 4/8/2012

We spent the much awaited opening day flicking a Rapala in the few hundred meters below the road bridge at Latrobe and found some good fish.  I landed 5 fish between 1 to a bit over 4 pound, (2 being sea runners),.. lost a few as well in a hectic 3 hour season.
Arrived at 8:30 and caught the first at 9:30 so I don't think an early start is worth it until the water warms up a little, will be a great year for river fishing.
