Alexsfishin1 781 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Headed to the yacht squadron yesterday with James and his mate. At the start, we didn't see a single fish besides some bream at the bottom. We sighted a few bluies and I snagged them on my lure. Later on, the garfish started to move in and we kept the burley going. This finally attracted some bigger ones, we used unweighted gents and got one cast after cast!!! They were on fire, it was so hectic I couldn't film most of it... After about 2 hrs, they started to slow down and we ran out of gents. We used bread and got a few, James let his bread sink to the bottom and got some BIG bites! Finally something took his bait and ZZZZzzzzzzzz! He was onto something bigger! He pulled it up and it was a decent bream at 34cm! We started fishing for salmon trout afterwards with pilly cubes and caught many undersized ones... We caught a legal one amongst 3 undersized ones. The fights were great fun still We moved on to target bream and burleied up lots with bread, we chucked our bread baits in and straight away we got some big bream bites. All of a sudden James' rod bends heaps and he strikes! It pilled out heaps of drag and then snapped... Seconds later, my rod did the same and it was the best bream fight of my life! Every second of the fight it was pulling out drag! James saw it when it went under some structure and you should've seen his face! IT WAS A MONSTER! It snagged me under some structure at the bottom and snapped me off.... James' said it was deffinately over 40cm and the fight was mad for me! I was silent for most of the time after I lost that bream. On the good side we caught a nice bag with 80 gar, 7 st, 1 decent bream and 2 bluies. All land based out of the 3 of us!

Tinker 1,645 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Another top notch report Alex. Bust offs are an unfortunate part of fishing. Rest assured that big bream will get caught eventually, hopefully by you or your mates. Or hopefully by me...LOL Alexsfishin1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Booma 1,360 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Nice work guys! Kinda defeats the purpose of blocking out the background though if you tell everyone in the first sentence of your report where you got them Fishingmad and Alexsfishin1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alexsfishin1 781 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Haha true Booma, I edited it before hand because we didn't want everyone fishing it out, but after 10 people asked me, I decided to spew it cheers Zorgs, lots of burley and you should get the gar to you Around the first marker on the beach side works well on the rocks.

Underpants 1,543 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Geez, nice work. Was pretty sure you couldnt fish the Yacht Squadron tho 'cause the missus' uncle has his yacht in there and needs an access pass to even get in the joint? Unless you're going 'round the side where the channel exits the marina and that poxy excuse for a boat ramp is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol yep, we were at the boat ramp near the entrance to the yacht squadron that's accessable for all public users. So it was legal to fish there. piratepom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Polonius 2 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'd be surprised if you don't get asked to contribute to SA Angler in the near future....that's top notch fishing and reporting. Best thing is you don't make it a secret where you catch them; if it's land based I don't see the harm in letting people know. There's plenty of fish for everyone Alexsfishin1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kayak Noob 76 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Unbelievable, I've been to garden island and the squadron there, same as you twice in the last two weeks, same baits, for less than dozen undersize gar and 1 15/20cm bream.You have undoubtedly the best luck of any fisherman I know.
