Do you like big bream? I love ‘em!
I was craving some good line buzzing action on my nitro and also a break from the drain of work. Having a friend that has a house in Walpole has it’s benefits and after a plead to use their premise me and a good mate were on our way.
We had three days to wade and for three days we waded. We only stopped breaming at midday each day to eat, drink and taste some honey wine or walk amongst tingles.
The weather on the first day was dark, windy and rainy which equalled a killer session with constant bends in our flicks. The second and third day the weather fined up with more sun and less wind. This made the bream timid but we still pulled them in and then let them go. Altogether it was a ripper three days with the tally of bream lost after 50.
We used mostly hardbodied Asian lures to get the blackies to bight in the tannin water, with the plastics nowhere as good. Also bigger lures got big fish with 65mm lures responsible for some nice ponies.
