Saturday was successful as I fished West Lakes for salmon trout. Managed to land 7 nice sized st's around 30-38cm. Hooked a couple of undersized KGW aswell and on the last cockle, I landed a 38cm bream.
On Sunday, I hit up Garden Island with a few yakers just for a meet and greet session, a yak was lended to me by a mate. We paddled along mangroves, casting pilly chuncks right up against fallen trees. In the first few minutes of fishing, we caught some tiny salmon trout until my rod buckled over and I was onto something decent! It screamed towards the mangroves but luckily I got it out before it could snap me off on 6lb leader. In the net it goes and it ended up to be a 38cm bream!
We decided to move spots as it slowed down heaps. Paddling along the mangroves, I spot a promising snag, first cast at it, I get smashed by a big bream! It was an absolute stonker as I saw him rise up but unfortunately it snapped me off under a snag within seconds. Spewing but they weren't shy to come back out! They were just sitting up against the snag so I tied another hook and casted in the exact same spot. Straight away, another bream took it! After a long fight dodging snags and structure, I get it in the net. This one looked bigger than the others so it had to be a PB. But of course... It had to be 1cm under 40cm.. At least it's a new PB bream at 39cm. Stokeeedddd!
After that, the fish slowed down so we just had fun catching tiny st. We decided to call it a day around lunch time. It was a great experience.
