And here is the esky shot of the keepers
Fridays I can usually negotiate a fishing pass from the Mrs. This morning (Friday 11th) I decided to go back to the Pumicestone Passage at Bribie Island and have a go for some Bream at Buckley’s Hole. I set out about 3.30 am in mad fisho style as I wanted to fish the last of the run out tide – that worked for me last week.
I should point out that I am fairly new to fishing having really only started seriously in January this year. I am always reading about people catching endless Bream - 20 at a time etc, but it has never happened to me. On a couple of occasions I have caught 4 or 5 in a couple of hours (in fact this happened last Friday at Bribie so that’s why I headed back up there). I only use plastics and when I do get Bream I always think it is luck as I am usually fishing places where I think there will be Flathead.
Anyway to cut a long story short on Friday from about 5.00 am through to lunchtime I finally had one of those Bream sessions. 18 fish and a few dropped - #all on plastics ranging from the Pumpkinseed and Watermelon 2” Minnow Grub to the Realstix #3” Pumpkinseed Minnow, to the Powerbait 3” Minnow in various colours from Rainbow to Pumpkinseed. Biggest fish was 34 cm but 12 of the 18 were keepers. I generally had them on a 1/8th 2/0 Jighead. I kept nine as I figured that was all we could eat fresh. I was fishing the drop off in my waders just out the front of Buckley’s Hole on the southern tip of Bribie Island. I fished the run out and run in and it did not seem to make much difference – although things actually slowed down a bit as the tide turned.
Great day - I attach a pic of the good ones – as you can see I was so excited I farted in my waders!
