Had a quick session this morning before hitting the papers the and net for a car for Garrett.We could manage about 3 hours on the water so we started at a few spots and found it dead quiet with a few bream finding there way into the boat but nothing exciteing. I mentioned to garrett we should try a few new grounds.First place we tried was quiet again and we kept working away ,Myself on the plastics and Garrett on h/bs. We motored down the river using tide and leckie till we cme across a set of pylons we have passed a thousand times and I put a cast into the sticks and within seconds of turning the reel handle I was on and that first fish went like a rocket and thumping for the bottom. fought hard and deep and I was astounded at how this bream accounted for himself. From this time on there weren't to many casts that didn't hook up. For a good hour ,it was one of the best bream times I've had. It was play a fish ,release , cast and bang straight on again and what made it sweet was every fish here went hard like there was no tomorrow.It was certainly the critters on 1/12 jig heads that they could not resist.Garrett joined me with the plastics for a unforgettable morning. Pulled the pin about 8.30 still laughing on the way home. UNBELIEVABLE is all i can say about how everyone of these fish fought. ;D Cheers

well done mate. Some very nice fish there. The critters do seem to be the go.
The young fella is going to have a go at them tomorrow. The wife told him to "Go catch me dinner"

You guys are slaying those bream. How good is it finding a new spot that produces when all your regular spots are shut down.
Have you been targeting the river snaps at all lately?

Silent..send you a PM.
bradhorny 28......Sqidgee citter in bloodworm
Bronson.. Looking for a stand out but he didn't show today so I didn't measure,sorry mate
Brent..I called the first fish as a just legal squire and up came a bream , they would hit surch for the pylons turn and run back deep under the boat and slog it deep. I had a great time.
Nic.and Plastix ..Went to have a go for a squire but where i wanted to go came with its very own security guard who's job for the morn was to follow me along the wharf and when the bream were going off on these pylons, I wasn;t going to leave. We straight released a lot of fish.Just the way they fought really impressed me and my fix was met ;D

and my fix was met ;D
Good choice of words there chief, my fix was not met at Mud Yesterday either. I wish I had a leccie or I would have tried this Brissie Bream Bashing a long time ago.
I agree with Brent, tht's one fat bream that must be getting ready to spawn.
Nice work!

Scalem, Mate you really need to get a leckie if fishing the river. Its a must and well worth the investment .I now get about 3-4 river trips out of one 25 litre tank and I spent the 3 hours yesterday constantly running the min kota on seven holding and slowing my drift against a fair bit of run. I deffinantly find a use for it in the bay as well especially fishing the beacons. A MUST ;D I fought it for so long with Richie boy and Garrett telling me how good they are.

Some good brim there and some good sizes amonst them. Your dead right with the leccy helping your fish count because my 46 pound tillar leccy can only hold up for a few seconds until the wind turns the bow around (drives me crazy every time) the only time it works is in an inlet with no breeze but how many of those are around. I think until i get a bow mount i will still be struggling in the river but being as keen as i am it wont stop me. Tillar steer was a gift from father for chrissy and feel guilty if i change. Any how good feed there mate.

Hi ddobson
I had the same problem but got a 50 x 75 aluminium block welded on the bow.
The head has only 1 bolt holding it on. Pull it out, turn the head 180 degrees and wack it back on. That way the throttle points back into the boat.
Yawn Yawn Yawn!!!
Gee CHIEF, are we going to see an exciting report at some stage when you DON'T catch any fish out fo the river?
Seriously though, TOP STUFF!!!
Take Care T

They look like pretty solid fish there Chief
I reckon the lecky is a real boon. Unfortunatly because of my upturned bow I have to look at a 54"-60" leg:o . They don't come cheap though:-/
We will have to catch up and have a fish sometime
Cheers

love ya work chief. when are you going to get them on surface lures, the critters cant be that good hehe
Hey mate,
How deep were you fishing? And were the fish holding near any structure? Is there still alot of bait in the river?

1337... mate try any of the wharves or pylons they should hold bream some better than others on the day.Those pylons have been in 5 -13 metres but the fish have been feeding in the top column fo water from the top to 6 or 7 feet. I'd use a 1/20 th head although the other day we had a bit of run and used 1/12 and found we got hit within seconds of the plastic hitting the water. I'm no expert mate but for river squire and bream use plastics in natural prawn colours like flash prawn, bloodworm and pumkinseed hope you get a few ,good luck
