The best fish we got of the morning was this 1.12kg bream caught on a shallow running minnow and 3lb flouro. Could see the fish from the time it hit the lure till it went into the net with rocks everywhere. While we were chasing the bream a pocket of longtails popped up next to us. I looked at my bream rod and $20 Japanese lre and went yeah why not. A quick flick of the handle and the drag was screaming. I recon I was doing okay until the fish manged to get itself tip wrapped. It didnt take long after that to saw through my leader. Still had heaps of fun and laughs chasing it around on 1lb braid. Must admit the 1000 size reel is a bit stiffer this morning. What a beautiful place to fish and the iptions are amazing looking forward to the comp and plenty more time spent harrasing you brissie boys in the bay.
Cheers Rod
