Broadwater Landbased Bream and Flathead on SP

[NeMo84]

hey everyone and happy new year to you all Well i went down the goldie for a day with my sister and dear old mum on the 30th for a swim and of course i chucked in my rod and SP's as the opporunity for a fish had clearly presented itself, hadn't fished much down the broadwater(still haven't) so decided that i had to suss it out while i had the chance, not sure where we were exactly but it was just down from the grand hotel, anyway all i can say is there was ALOT of boat traffic being the 30th and all, but still managed a surprisingly good feed IMHO under the conditions, the biggest bream went 36cm and the flattie was around 55-60cm. All fish caught using SP's landbased.

Not Bad for landbased mate. Especially with all the boaties

the best flatty i caught, ready to be eaten, i actually caught 3 in 3 casts at one stage but the others were very small.

cheers rod i was also surprised considering the amount of traffic, the jetskis are by far the worst, some of the riders are just inconsiderate tossers and i reckon it comes from the fact that they think they cant be touched cos they're flying around pretty quickly, well i can assure you thats not true after the other day, i had an incident with a guy who i assume was drunk because of his behaviour, or perhaps he saw i was keen for some target practice, anyway he ended up copping a nasty whack on the head after doing doughnuts right in front of me where i was fishing then giving me the ups and laughing. Somehow a nice round stone became dislodged from the sand and somehow flew into the side of his head knocking him off his ride, he struggled got back on and looked a little unsure as to where he was exactly, luckily i had my fishing knife and was able to point him back in the right direction, a little overboard perhaps but during the holiday season i like to go that extra mile and "reach out" to the people, that's me, a real people person

Well done nemo. Its good to know there are some considerate fishos out there, always willing to give the jetskiers some 'advice'. I love it.

Thats a good little flathead spot on that strectch of sand, I know it well. A mate of mine pulled a 1m in there last summer. The fish seem to adapt to the traffic.
