danfish1234 103 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Ive always wanted to get a couple of 'bigger' bream in the onk on soft plastics/hardbodies. Having mainly fished hardbodies and weedless plastics around snags in the old noarlunga parts in the warmer months ive never come across anything bigger then late 20's. I decided to hit the onk in the kayak to sound around and find some deeper parts as i have heard that as the day goes on the bream go deep. The past few weeks i did 5 sessions, morning, afternoon and midle of the day. So first session i kayaked around with the fishfinder found some deep parts around river road. And some bits that drop off going south towards seaford. So it was a start for that area. Paddled to south road bridge afterwards remembering some likely spots aswell. Had a land based flick one morning the other weekend and pulled one 33cm at sheep pilons and a little tacker. Got my first mulloway on sp's aswell 😃 As winter came to an end i actually concentrated in bits that were about 700mm to a 1.5m deep and found more bream waiting in these areas. I would drift over these areas looking at my sounder finding schools bunched up paddle to the bank and cast over them. If i was fishing plastics a would cast against the tide and bring my plastic back with it for a more realistic presentation. Hardbodies i would cast whatever way. I found the hidden weight jigheads by TT worked a more finesse presentaion and got more fish. Got 5-7 fish a session. Biggest went 39cm! Almost got my goal of 40cm. It will come soon. Heres a veiw pics. Happy fishing Alexsfishin1, Scissors, Meppstas and 13 others 16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doobie 5,802 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Good onya Dan and with some nice sessions by the looks. Thanks for the good write up and photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ludaqryz 290 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Nice one dan, there are some good looking holes in the Onk via sounder though I have not managed to catch much within the depth itself but nearby it in the shallows/flats/rocks. I got lucky on my first Onk session land based with a 40cm a few years ago on hb. Yet to beat 37cm with sp let alone an Onk mulloway there, Good luck in future target's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 1,645 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Love your work mate. Only fished the Onk a few times now and haven't nailed anything over 35cm. Did hear of a 42cm bream getting pinned recently, and the big breeders will be moving through soon. Been hearing of some big sea run bream moving into the St Kilda channel recently, so am guessing they will start moving in the Onk at the same time. Nice mulloway too.
