Gday folks,
Had a nice little sesh down at Vines this arvo to test out the new camera. Started of flicking shallow running HBs around a rocky flats that full of rats. The planned worked with 3 tiny bream getting pinned in quick succsesion. All bream were caught on a Bassday Sugar Deep but I stuck with my trusty Khamsin Jr Sr. I managed a couple of unknown's that fought quite well for their size - anyone know what they are?
Moved up to some deeper water covered by some moored boats. The move was well worth it...our first casts in the shadows with 2in Shrimp were both nailed on the drop. We had a double hookup on the go for a bit before Joel pulled the hooks on his, I landed mine soon after. It was a nice bream of around 30cm. Had a bit of a deformity but...one eye was way bigger than the other so he looked a bit silly.
We moved up to a much deeper hole that holds better fish in larger numbers. Sure enough, our first few casts were met by some nice bream. Joel got completly shreaded with his 6lb leader and we were running out of Gulp so we tyed on SX40's. This forced decision to change was well worth it! I nailed a 28cm fish about 10 casts later and Joel got a nice Black Bream further down the rock wall. The reason the SX40's were working so well was because they dived on the same angle as the rock wall. The lures were just bumping down the rock face and as they go down to where the sand meets the rock, the bream were waiting to pounce.
Anyways, hope you enjoy the read and picis...the new cam has a beaut macro function!!
Cheers,
