    Default City Breamin - Melbourne Yarra

    Hi AA's

    Just thought id post a quick little report about my new lunchtime adventures whilst at work.
    Last year i was lucky enough to work in the Melbourne docklands area, an awesome place to catch trophy Bream, and of course would fish 5 days a week.
    Well unfortunately i got moved back into the heart of the city and have been missing my lunchtime sessions ever since.
    Well that was until today.
    I decided to take the punt and fish the Yarra in town. armed with my trusty berkleys and my ecogear grubs my mate Nam and I headed down the river.
    plenty of littlies could be seen in the shallows and it wasnt long until a good fish had hold of Nams SX40 but was dropped.
    A few cast later under a river litter trap and i picked up this beauty @ 36cm



    so looks like im back to fishin my lunchbreaks again

    cheers
