Went into Raby Bay yesterday afternoon to throw some softies. Got 2 bream on the plastics just before dark 26 and 25 to the fork. Pulled out the poppers just on dark was a bit quite at first with a few nudges but no hook ups. Moved to a new canal and first cast along one of the rock walls my first one stayed conected. Took a little bit of line but not too much. 26cm fish. Released him moterd back over with the electric and next cast pulled another. This one went a little better, netted him and he went 29cm quick photo and back in the water. Couple more fish 23 29 24cm. Then found myself on my knees crying after being smashed up by a horse bream, jack or cod dont think the 4lb line had any chance of stoppin this thing. Would of been nice to get a look at it though. Boated a couple more small fish and then headed for home happy with the session had. The gear used was pro castor Z 2-6lb rod, Stradic 1000 spooled with 4lb fireline, siglon 8lb floating fly tippet and river2sea bubble pop 35mm. Heres a couple of pics. Cheers Whytey.
