Wet Bribie Bream - Tuesday Early morning

[Mullet Musketeer]

Despite the rain on Tuesday, I needed my fix so I headed up to Bribie early in the morning. I arrived around 5.15 am and sheltered under the bridge. Needless to say from the relative comfort of the only dry spot available I did not even get a bite, so after half an hour or so I switched to the other side of the bridge. This also proved to be useless tactic.

As the tide started to run out with a bit more flow I moved down to Buckley’s Hole and waded out into the rain. Then the fun started with the Bream. I was getting plenty of bites on the Gulp Shrimp and my favorite Pumpkinseed Minnow Grub but initially they kept spitting them. I switched to the Gamakatsu curved hook 1/8th No.2 jigheads which have worked well with the bream in the past and immediately started to hook up. I got two undersize Bream around the 20 cm mark then a really nice 34 cm who weighed in at 820 grams. I ended up with 5 keepers before I just decided I was too wet and cold to carry on at about 10.00 am.

A very wet morning but there were plenty of fish about if you were mad enough to be out there.

Just goes to show how primevial fisherman are. We need that fix of hunting and gathering. Pitting our witts against and advesary. Some people would think we are crazy but once they started to catch fish then the drug is released into their veins .Good effort and its nice to see other people are crazy.
