Alexsfishin1 781 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 St Kilda was slow with the salmon trout this morning, no body had caught one or even had a bite! It was super calm, I couldn't believe my eyes! So I decided to fish closer in for some bream. I spotted a decent school of 30cm+ fish sitting against the rocks so I gave it a cast and was soon hooked onto a good sized bream. Measured at 34cm and was released after a few photos. The next cast another fish took it on the drop and I hooked up almost instantly! This one put up a better fight and almost got me on a pylon. With frayed 6lb leader, I managed to land the fish and it measured in at 35cm! Another solid bream released after a few more photos. After that fish, the school was spooked so I walked around a bit searching for another school. I ended up on the pontoon getting a bream a cast for 15 minutes, my brother and sister even got onto them! It was the biggest school of bream I have ever seen, it was almost like a salmon school. Ended up getting 10 fish around 25-28cm. All fish released. plankton, Zorgs, keenfisho and 6 others 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 725 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Great report, it's always good to be able to change things up when plan A doesn't work. Alexsfishin1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 1,645 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Good to see you getting stretched by some good bream in my local waters mate. Apparently there are a few big sized schools of bream cruising the channel, word is they could be spawning early this year. Have seen some very big sea run bream in the shallows picking food out from among the rocks, problem is, if I can see them, they can see me and are very hard to tempt. I have seen a pic of a 50cm + bream caught at St Kilda a few weeks ago.... Salmon are proving difficult to catch, recently I got into a few small fish when a school cruised up behind the shop. Another great report Alex. Alexsfishin1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keenfisho 1,416 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Great work mate. There was a huge school of monsters at the ramp while I was launching Friday. They were not shy either Alexsfishin1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
