Savagelip

a bit before your time but was quite common to catch 45cm+ Bream under the Jervois bridge previous to the port development when there was more warf structure and a yacht mooring adjacent, i myself pulled a 56cm on half a pilchard, unfortunately no digital camera at that time.. was even more common to pull 60+cm models around the back of torrens island back in the day..

Haven't been on for a while thought I'd share my monster cray with all you guys and make your mouths water got it out of coffins with a tail snare the other day. And yes that is a carton of beer it is hugging and making look small.

1 cm to, gee's what will be next,your enthusiasm is to be admired,great report Alex.

James and I went to west lakes on the quest for the 40cm bream. Straight away when we got there, we got some takes and James managed a nice 36cm bream already! Always good to have a catch and release session. Anyways, we persisted into some smaller bream and landed another decent one which was 34cm. Fished on for another 5 hrs and landed numerous small ones with the occasional decent bream. We finished the day with two 36cm bream and five 35-33cm bream. Another good session with most fish being legal but of course, all fish released We didn't manage to land a 40cm+ bream but...

This is so cool .Hope its alright to post here. http://vimeo.com/85147880Im getting me a video Camera

Hi guys me again, I was just wondering if you are allowed to pump bait from the onk mouth as I have seen a few people doing it but I can't find anywhere that says it's not allowed? All I can find is that it is illegal to collect bait from southport through to horseshoe reef and nothing about the onk. If it's illegal can someone give me some spots that do hold nippers and worms? I have been to christies and there is nothing.Thanks

not sure but guessing around 70+cm

@Savagelip: Hmmm... I reckon I saw you out there Savagelip! Well done. What was the size of the biggest?@Like a Sturgeon: I reckon I could! Easy as pie. Just need a little help getting it in... :whistle: :silly: @trihull: Cheers heaps, I sure will keep up the reports. I might even make a youtube video for this?

nice 1 alex, cfr & I hooked up last week doing a spot of trawling around the blocksplenty out there

As you all know, my new target was snook... First day targeting them, I caught 2!!! We went at sunset and caught 2 squid straight away. After those 2 squid, the bite had gone down. But I started getting a few hits on the little sp so I persisted. I saw some snook rising from the deep and them BANG! I saw a snook hit the lure! I landed it just as it spat the lure on the jetty. Pew... that was lucky :ohmy: MY FIRST EVER SNOOK!!! Later on after the sun had set, I had one massive hit on the sp lure and this was a BIG FISH! It didn't take up much of a fight considering I had locked drag. I managed to land it on the jetty. I was so excited! I measured it and it was 64cm on the dot! WOW! I WAS SHOCKED... :woohoo: First day targeting my new species and sucess! This big snook had a scar on it's tail which I think might be from another snook or a shark? We ended the day with a nice feed.

Headed down to waits "yesterday afternoon" turned into early evening by the time we left here and re found our way after a wrong turn.... :f Walked up and down the beach, fishing the gutters, to only a small fish each, decided to pack it in on sunset, walking back we walked past two guys with nice fish, decided we would try with them, ended up catching 15 more, most a kg to 2 kg, was great fun. That's what we kept anyway, where releasing them by the end of it and we lost as many, if not more then we kept :S Only light we had was the occasional glimpses of the moon as the overcast weather made the moon pretty hidden, was cool when we would have a brief moment with no clouds, was like someone turned a light on with the full moon. All on metal lures, they where smashing them and I saved the best part of the story til last. The spot we caught them all in? the gutter smack back at the bottom of the stairs and thank god for that because that bucket was heavy, would of died if i had to carry that from one end to the other!!! Cheers fellas, goodluck!!

I've started making some TIPS & POINTERS videos for ametures. What do you all think? Should I do more? Would love it if you could give me some ideas for my TIPS & POINTERS.

I'm sold guys! I hit Tennyson this morning at bottom of tide at 1030 , there were two massive schools of them cruising up and down the sand bars. I used the bassday orange and first cast they swarmed all around it and followed the lure all the way in! Second cast went straight overs the top and out the back of the school , jigging it through the school they went into a frenzy and smashed it ! This was the most fun ive had YFW fishing in years ! I also had a rod holder I've made sitting in the sand bar with another rod baited and sitting in the water , thanks to des's post( finessing) I followed the rig he posted.......THANKS DES! This rig worked a treat.. I've never been so busy fishing , if the baited rod wasn't bending the lure was being smashed... I was like a little child in a candy shop. I was amazed to actually see em jumping out of the water in the school .my first metro bag was had in 1 1/2 hours. I must say using my spotters was definitely helpful in first spotting them on arrival at the beach. I stayed on after my bag was reached trialling the clear bassday lure to less of an affect as yhe orange but still managed to land em. After two hours of fishing it was like school of fish went to lunch and disappeared never to return again the rest of the Arvo . Any how it's fair to say YFW on lures..............BLOODY OATH!!! Now to somehow wipe the smile off of my face. This little camper will definitely be back tommorrow .... After he puts in a split system for his mate..... Boooooooo

Shit of a jag be better if it had hooks
