Breamin' the Classics

[Beevor]

Hi all....

Just wanted share a few words and pics about the Tas Bream Classics.

Round 1 was on the infamous Derwent River in early Jan, and the Bream were very cooperative! With the average Bream weighing a little over 1kg, it's no wonder the system has such a reputation.

Benny and I were stoked to place where we did (6th) and more than happy to double-bag on the Derwent. Day 2 started off pretty tough for us, but Ben started smashing them on the Atomic Hardz and we were away I stuck with the Daiwa Presso and Zipbaits. Benny actually pulled a 43cm PB Bream on pre-fish that weighed close to 2kg Absolute pig of a fish and would have been very handy during the comp! Good work son!

Tassie guru's Leigh McKenzie (angling addict on here) and Pat Sullivan took out the event, which was pretty close by Derwent standards.

Check out the girth on this thing....

[Beevor]

Just to give you an idea on comparison, so Bream on the right was 37cm to the fork, which is generally fairly acceptable anyway!! Certainly would have been Big Bream during the comp.

There certainly are some XOS models getting about. Some systems vary quite a bit though down here.
