Alexsfishin1 781 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Harry and I were originally targeting bream, had a few follows and hits. No hookups though, but as I was retrieving the fly over a school of reasonably sized bream under structure, a salmon trout came up from the deep and smashed the fly! It fought so well on the fly gear. It measured in at 23cm, persistence pays After it was released, we moved off to a new spot, where we spotted a school of big jumping mullet! They were just sitting around the pylons so I decided to cast right in front of them, they didn't react. After a couple more casts, I snagged one on the fly and it went off like a bullet! I dead lifted it up onto the wharf and it measured in a 34cm. Wasn't as big as I thought but it was defiantly a solid mullet. To finish the day, we decided to do some bait fishing for bream, we bought 2 loafs of white bread and fished for 1hr before we left. We landed a few bream from 20cm to 29cm, including a double hookup! After I left, Harry stayed a bit longer, he landed 8 more bream and the 2 biggest being over 34cm. I was spewing! If only I stayed a bit longer. Lol All together, it was an alright day, we were expecting a few bream on lures and fly but I can't complain with my first fish on fly!

Tinker 1,645 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Another top notch report mate. I see you are getting the hours up in the Pat, have to admit it is a nice place to fish. Planning another Pat sesh soon, though I am thinking of trying at night, especially a nice warm summer night. Congrats on getting your first on fly, hope you get many more.

Thanks heaps Tinker, night fishing there would be amazing, I spoke to a bloke who's a local around there, he said he's seen mullies and squid there when the gates are open on warm nights. Out at the Marina, a couple of mates said they saw snook and tommies cruising around at sunset. I might even give it a shot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 1,645 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I will be focusing on the big blue lip breambos that I have seen cruising in there. Also heard about big mullies occasionally getting through the gates, and a school of salmon cruising around. The structure in that place is phenomenal, and most of it is within casting distance of the shore. Only problem I had there is getting distracted by all the cute chicks walking by....My Bad. Hopefully night sessions on the Pat help me keep my attention on my fishing. Alexsfishin1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't in the river system but it was close. THERE WAS A SCHOOL OF 45CM+ BREAM AROUND A SET OF PYLONS, SOME EVEN PUSHING 50CM! At first we thought they were big jumping mullet, but I could recognize the shape and how they moved, they were certainly the biggest bream I've seen. They even sniffed my fly Tinker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MiSCrEANT 53 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I had a look around the Pat for the first time on Sunday, great new spot for me to try. A local said that the water at the flood gates is 3.5m deep. Mulloway would definitely be there, waiting for a softplastic to flutter down... Nice report, I'll be there next Sunday.

Brankim 945 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Well done mate! Not too many forms of the sport you haven't had luck with you should try some shrimp patterns sometime! Might persuade a yellowfin or two! Good all rounder for flatties, bream, and pretty much everything we get here! Keep it up mate! Alexsfishin1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
