PIN TRIP WED 15/03

[T1]

Fished the Pin last night for plenty of whiting and a 38cm Bream. Caught a lot of smaller bream with only a few of these just legal or over. My brother also pulled up a flathead of massive proportions that initially felt like dead-weight. However once up to the top next to the boat, it sat there and smiled at us while we prepared the net. As we were about to land him, zooooom, straight to the bottom and managed to chomp his way through the 15lb leader! I also got smashed a few hours later while into a school of whiting. We think it was a big bream due to the fight it put up right until the boat but it took one final run as we were trying to get it to the top and SNAP, line caught on boat/motor and that was the end of that!

For those who are wondering, all caught on the old faithful Yabbie... i've only just started using SP's and not too confident with them as yet but will persevere for a few more months.

The old Pin has seen a few fish caught this last week. Might be worth a run down.

Sounds like a pretty sucessful trip, well except for the couple of "lucky" fish. Was the water. Trying to make the transition to sp's as well, but i think to give it a good go, you have to leave the bait at home.

sounds like a good day mate, me and my sons have been using plastics the last month or so. Having some success on various fish but still not confident to leave without bait. I agree with jack hunter , might just have to bite the bullet and have a trip with sp. only. Just have to push through and do it.

Thanks fella's! It is difficult to leave the bait at home although i am finding it difficult picking the right SP's. A lot of fishers on this site seem to have great success with Berkley Gulp Minnows 3" or 4", especially in Pumpkin Seed however i can't seem to get this particular SP as there seems to be a shortage of supply! Not surprisingly! If anyone can suggest an outlet that may have these in stock, it would be appreciated.

Anyway, going down again Sat so i'll give them a good flogging and see how we go...
