    Default Lake Macquarie

    Hey all...

    Headed up to Lake Macquarie - NSW to spend a few days with the old man.

    The aim was to get the big fella onto a Yellowfin Bream on a hardbody lure, as he'd caught a few on plastics before. We were also hoping for a big lizard or two.

    Apart from a few tiddlers, I could barely land myself a bream and found them very very spooky. At one stage I said to Dad - "here just have a cast with mine for a bit while I re-tie your leader"..... BANG, yep he's on! After a nice little tussle a 34cm to fork Bream greets us. Dad was stoked!






    Managed to find a few dusky flatties, but the best came in at around 55cm so nothing huge. One day, we will find the magic metre up there!




    Cheers,
    Beevor

    Onya Beevs, you should put that first photo of the lizard on SFT mate.
    Something different than a trout!
    Your photos are always brilliant.

    Cheers Jeff.

    Bugger... That's a shame Mick, I'm back on Tassie soil now! Best of luck mate I hope you find a few! If you're into surface fishing, I was getting heaps of boils by bream up there but they wouldn't commit. I only took a handful of surface lures up there and I reckon they were a bit big.

    Thanks fellas!
