Hi all!!
Headed up the pine Sunday morning, A little late unfortunately as both my alarm and my Mate Nico's didn't go off:-/ Still we made it on the water around 6am;) We started at the Highway Bridge Nico was flicking a little hard body and some plastics while I was bouncing a Prawnstar off the bottom. Didn't get one hit except once from a pylon witch decided it wanted my prawnstar more than i did>:( We then drifted up stream chasing some Flathead witch were either not around or didn't want to play the game.. Nico's son Jeremy managed to hook a flathead awhile latter on his new birthday present;) but unfortunately it shook free of the hook before hitting then net:'( about 5 casts latter Nico hooks onto a miniature flathead witch also threw the hook before hitting the boat::) Not long before this little bit of action I thought Bugger these Flathead and threw on a 1/40th TT jig head and a 2" gulp shrimp to try for a Bream or two. It didn't take too long after the flathead for me to get a solid hit! First run had a lot of power and I called it for a Very good flathead but, after the next run witch had a number of fast head shakes and nearly twice as much line pealing from my reel I was thinking I have a Trevally here!!;D But it wasn't.. turned out to be my new PB Bream:o What a stonker he was!! Big blue lips, Huge chompers thick shoulders and a fat belly. Measured 39.5cms on the brag mat and my fishing ruler;) (tip length not fork) I reckon he would have weighed around 1kg too8-) When we had him in the net I was sure I had my first 40cm+ Bream he was sooo close!! lol. We let him go after a couple of Pics (witch I hope Nico will post tonight). and continued fishing till just after lunch for zip:-[
cheers
