I cant seem to get away from the trevs mate have you tried near the hot water outlet? Gettin much crabs? We will have to organise to catch up on the water soon Pete

I cant wait to get into woolooware for some top water action! Everytime i have been in there it has been really slow so hopefully it picks up soon Yeah mate got the boat i have done the floor and about to do casting decks but my motor has developed an ignition problem so i got to get it fixed under warranty soon, i have only been out in it 3 times so i havnt been fishing any where as much as i have wanted to but hopefully it will be all sorted soon Pete

Great report mate! and i nice piece of gear with the i pilot Im starting to get the hard body bug myself Pete

i got a couple of them

Good work mate neil said you were using them and another type too after i went out with him he bought a few for himself too pete

Hey guys here is a couple of quick reports from over the holidays Well i didnt fish as much as i would of liked to being boatless for a few weeks and sorting out the new boat was a pain in the ass but i did manage a few good days Fished st georges basin with my uncle in his skeeter just after new years with my aim to get some bream on hard bodys and surface, first stop and we could see fish hitting the surface and our hopes were high. my uncle quickly landed 3 decent bream but i could only get followers that would shy away or miss the hooks at the last moment after many lure changes i decided to try a squidgy grub rigged on a weedless worm hook and almost instantly had success. Using 1lb fireline and 3lb leader which i intended to use for normal plastic fishing, i was abit worried about getting busted off but i kept on persisting and hooked up to a great fish that took plenty of line, after a few nervous moments around the electric motor finally i landed my first top water bream and not a bad size too soon after the the surface action died and we headed out a little deeper, it was slow going to start and after a few changes in location we hit a nice patch of fish mostly bream and reddies. I landed around 6 reddies between 34-36cm and pulled hooks on one that would of been over 40cm and landed 7 or 8 bream between 30-39cm all solid fish in great condition Today.... Hit the bay with my old man this morning and it was off to a promising start 3rd cast my old man lands his pb flattie really fat and full of rowe that went 74cm on 4lb gear Alot of missed hits later i hooked up to a really nice whiting around the 40cm mark and while fumbling to get the net it pulled hooks on me For me this was the theme of the day gettin busted off another 3 time's by good fish but my old man landed a heap of nice bream and trevs and all i could manage to get into the boat were some under sized flatties.. Oh well thats fishing i guess and its good cause it means the old man will be keen to go out soon again All fish were released on both days Thanks guys Pete

Top couple of fish mate I havnt caught a decent bream on blades in a while most of them falling to plastics so i might have to dust them off Pete

pretty sure there is a ramp near the goal mate maybe try that out Pete

What a great fish! and i wouldnt rip into anyone who kept one but i deffently wouldnt keep an impoundment fish for a feed All fatty and silty tasting i would of had more pleasure in catch and release personally Im goin up there in the start of march my cousine runs a holiday park up there so all i have to pay for is petrol driving up there and maybe some loss tackle pete

you could also sandblast it or use a weak acid soloution

Too bad on the lack of legal flatties mate! But yeah i have seen them that big in 1.5m of water there too! once i was winding my plastic really fast to get ready to net my old mans fish and 2 of them stormed the plastic and totally missed it and the other time i had a decent trev on and i had it floundering on the surface ready to net and a big kingy took the blade hanging out of his mouth Still a great thing to see cheers Pete

My uncle is sellin his skeeter i think its a sx180 lol (i was only on it last weekend) he is selling it through josh aswell so he's the man to talk too As for set up wise they have great storage and really stable even with a decent wind chop but i think with anyboat in your price range you will be happy with what you get

hey mate throw me a pm i might be able to take you out after new years when my new boat is ready Pete

You might be lucky but i dont think they will replace it especially the way that you did it The way you did it could of been only done by "miss handling" it but just try to see what happend Pete

Top effort mate! especially in the conditions! i fished the basin and it was hard goin with all the fresh and all the tannin we landed a few whiting and they were dark but no where near that dark!!1 Pete

Mate thats a top catch especially in salt water too! You should of had a drink bottle in the pic to enter the catch of the month Cheers Pete

Hey Guys I would like to Purefishing all the Raider mods and everyone who voted for my fish i cant wait to loose them new lures on bigger fish Cheers Pete

The new normal Great album

i mainly fish for bream + bycatch so i fish really light and with small lures not in any order...... ecogear zx35 ... always pulls me out of the shit landed my pb bream and many big flatties on these berkley 3 inch minnow pearl watermellon and peppered prawn..... my biggest whiting and raider record fell to one but anything that swims will go for them squidgy pro fish grasshopper and flash prawn... slow rolled or kill and burned i have caught many flatties and alot of others even whiting! squidgy 80mm wriggler blood worm flash prawn and wasabi .... fished really light and double whipped with long pauses works great landed my pb trev on one last week My home made blades ...... cant beat the feeling of catching a fish on something you have made hope this helps Pete

A couple of nice fish in a short amount of time guys! I might have to give you a buzz next time im up there too Pete

lol i was expecting to see somthing a few kg's heavier but this is way better now the missus cant say no to both of you Pete

They do look great dont they! Thats the first thing i seen in the water then its bright yellow fins confirmed what it was Im sort of spewin i didnt release him or her back into the water but the old man loves whiting and we used to catch big ones off the beach at South West Rocks when i was a kid so it sort of brought back memory's Pete

the new berkley sense looks the goods and is really thin diameter Im getting some on the weekend so ill let you know what i think of it Pete

You guys should change your names to Estuarypearchboy and Estuarypearchcatcher You deffently know how to get and im still a ep virgin!! Cheers Pete
