coight 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Here is a 1.2kg specimen from the Goldie. As a comparison to our local black bream of about the same size, this bad boy went for about 6 ball tearing runs in and around coral and oyster encrusted rocks. Every now and then i find one or two black bream that are a little more spirited and go a bit harder.. I thought it was all a load of b.s. that the yellows were just generally meaner and fought a lot harder. The fish look so different too, big bulgy eyes. They'll even poke their head out of the water to find their food. wild experience, so if any of you keen breammers get a chance to go catch e'm, i Highly reccomend it!! http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/tnGE0jtm__04112008.jpg[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaffer 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Nice looking fish mate.I wouldn't mind having a flick at them one day.Did you have to change techniques for the YF? I've heard one or two people say they are harder to catch than the blacks and they take a bit more coaxing.Might be a load of old rubbish, but seeing as you're holding one, I guess you are the man to ask.CheersGaff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coight 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 They took me a while to work out... but we found they fired up on surface lures, you could throw anything else at e'm and they'd just look at it with no reaction.. off the surface they came out in a big pack smashing at the lure untill one found the hooks.

luke_westlakes 4 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 nice job coight, looks like your fishing in someones backyard... lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kayakfisher 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I thought it was the black bream that were more lure shy. Staying with my uncle in noosa they seemed to very readily take a lure. Maybe I was just there at the right time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coight 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 lol, most of it was in peoples backyards, a lot of my fishing was around multimillion dollar cruisers with a personal helicopter parked next to it. Ya kinda feel bad when you slap your plastic into it to get nice and close and it makes a large 'TINK' when it hits the hull. Quite often the people would be out in their yard hear it look at you and just say hows it going buddy catching any.They are keen to take lures most of the time if you throw the right thing, but a lot of the fish in the cannals have seen em all and are a bit harder to coax out on a lure.
