The video says it all

Had another great day with James fishing around Outer harbour. We fished for gar at first with no luck for the first 2hrs. But I did manage a small zebra fish thing. Later on, the gar started to turn on, we got em cast after cast! Most of the gar were legal sized from 24cm to 26cm. Later on, we moved spots and managed to land around 30 odd bream. Cast after cast aswell! :woohoo: All released of course. But they soon tuned off the bite. We flicked for st with lures and James managed to get his first on a FLY while he was demonstrating how to cast with my rod! :silly: Another awesome day, saw some silver drummer, snapper, mullies, whiting, sweep and morwong but we couldn't get em interested. Although James did hook a HUGE (70cm+) snapper on bread right at the rocks! It unfortunately spat the hook as it was a garfish hook We were spewing. :c

A few nice catfish live in pools around that area. I reckon give it a shot with corn or bread as Del said, you might get onto some good carp and catties!

You will get that 40+ bream Alex' date=' just got to find him and fool him.On another note, how do you get ur baits past all the tiny bream? Gave it a go the other day and only got it to a decent fish 3 times, the rest picked off.[/quote']Cheers fished out, I use pilchard cubes which usually stay on the hook really well. I got a tip to keep it on the hook, just hook the bait and pull the hook through it. Do that a few times and it should stay on a bit longer.

CHeers guys!@Tinker: Cheers for the positive comments! We used pilchard chunks and I only wish to break the 43cm mark! Well done, that's a pretty decent fish. I hope I get some 40cm+ bream this weekend and maybe even my first mully @queeny: That sounds awesome! I sure will let you know if I don't break the 40cm mark before April. Must be a real secret spot to have that many 40cm fish

Since everyone loves the videos, here's one I made from the quest! Cheers everyone!

@Kayak Noob: They are challenging but if you keep fishing for em, you'll work out a way. We used unweighted pilchard cubes with a small hook. @jimbojames and Nanman: Haha that's what I always say aswell. From all my mates who's caught 40cm bream, they've caught them as a by-catch for mullies. :pinch:

1 cm to' date=' gee's what will be next,your enthusiasm is to be admired,great report Alex.[/quote']Cheers so much reelfun, I've already thought about what will be my next goal. A mully or a legal flathead

Save up for a yak mate and get into the plastic side of bream fishing….. you'll get plenty of 40's then http://youtu.be/PbrJfqWWuM8http://youtu.be/lSWnMHhjEGghttp://youtu.be/C-czuNNvtUgAnd some you just can't stop lolhttp://youtu.be/fhVd2WPdKS0

Haha yeah I should aye, I've watched every single one of your vids because I am a big fan! Your videos have inspired me to get a 40cm+ bream

nice going Alex what were they caught on mate bait or lure ?any video always enjoy watching your lil sessions only 4cm off keep at it bud cheers 4THA

Haha cheers 4THA, they were caught on bait, I am working on the video right now! It probably won't be up until next week though. The last session we had I got a 37cm bream and James got a 39cm bream. Only 1cm off!!!! :woohoo:

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...

Yes, seems to be a southern crested weedfish! Cheers guys! :cheer:

I found this fish in a rock pool at the local beach in melbourne. Can anyone please help identify it? Cheers.

The ugly stick is a popular one

Everyones gotta hear this. What a great speech by Dwayne Mullet! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=eSvIU9CSIdI

I like braid better, more sensitive when lure fishing and it's stronger when fishing around structure.

That is one monster YFW! I hope I get a PB like that since my PB is only 37cm which I thought was huge! haha Well done!

Alex you weren't using rovex braid mate leader were you by chance?

Nah I didn't use leader. Maybe that's why I didn't catch a mully

Well done nice fish m8' date=' I got two about the same size yesterday& a stingray[/quote']Nice mate, were you fishing at bower rd? That's pretty surprising for a ray to be there! Well done

Hell yeah guys awesome job! I've been trying there lately too and actually caught my first mully earlier tonight on a soft plastic in West Lakes. I was so pumped but as I grabbed the leader the fish shook it's head and spat the lure :c I was spewing! Going to get a landing net tomorrow Great footage I might look into getting one of those cameras' date=' which one is that Alex, the under water footage is great![/quote']Cheers Codez, I used a panasonic lumix camera.

Cheers everyone, sounds like fun back in your days. I'll certainly go back there and give it another shot, might even use livies aswell! Cheers. Alex.

James and I finally set off to target mullies. First we were fishing for livies with little sps and bait but all of them were undersized. We kept fishing with sp for st and then the water stopped running. James casted his sp where the water was running and saw a huge silver flash which he thought was a massive salmon but it came back for the lure and fully engulfed it! James Screamed out MULLY! So I started filming.

I believe you Jake, as Booma said, there was a school of kingfish reported. There was even a photo of the school cruising along the edge near the newest bridge. It would be pretty cool if someone landed one in the port but it would be challenging. Im sure someone will catch one eventually.

I've seen pics of mullies caught on blades from the lake. But I would recommend a squidgy sp for mullies. The new paddle tail squidgy looks really good and I have seen more pics with mullies caught on em. Good luck!

well done mate' date='great fun isnt it! what size jig head were you using? Get most of mine on bait but got 3 recently on sp's,both pretty exciting.Monkey[/quote']Cheers, it was great fun! I caught em on a 1/16 ounce jighead. It only retrieved along the surface from the jetty so I would go a 1/8 ounce jighead.
