If bait fishing from a boat - Every day of the week. No contest.

Your finishes look pretty good @Soobz well done.

Looks pretty sweet @Soobz will be interested to see how you go with it on the YFW.

Interesting. Might have to get one to try.

Just came across these (assume I'm a bit late to the party here) but as anyone used them? Particularly interested in the "Bender" as a sub $20 Bent.

Quite vibrant colours. Pretty sure I have seen a very similar fish posted on here in the past, so hopefully someone can help you out.

That sugarpen blank looks interesting!

@FECB I guess that could be possible, however I didn't see any evidence of food either during or after. Although it must be said when I sat there, they were almost looking up at me as if expecting something. Either way, good to know there are some genuine brutes still in the system.

On a family walk around Westlakes today and came across the below. Majority of the school was 30 and above, with a few genuine brutes that too the eye were mid 40s!! They were just milling about, with no obvious reason for them to be there. I sat and just watched them for about 15 minutes, completely mesmerised. For those that target Bream often, is this a normal occurrence?

Well if it is their spawing period then that makes sense.

What's the rationale behind that? Do they spawn that time or something?

T/World and SFS stock Samaki if your wanting to have a look.

Not used one personally, but heard good things about egi rods being used as land based bait rods for YFW and other similar species.

I would suggest South Oz rods. Local here in SA. Alternatively if distance isn't an issue, Ian Miller of Miller Rods makes a living of building high end rods.

Pretty sure he is about.
