    Hi Guys

    After reading of the daring exploits of those intrepid fishraiders , Swordman and Jocobin :drunk: , I decided to set myself up with a 1-2 kg rod and 1000 series reel and try out soft plastics under the Batemans Bay bridge on the Clyde River.

    (4lb braid and a 6 lb leader)

    Caught a number of small bream and ended up with a 32cm bream and a 53 cm flathead.

    One of the local pelicans was "assisting":icon_razz: me in returning small fish to the water (it was actually standing beside me as I fished and patiently waiting to grab them) and we ended up having quite a kerfluffle over who got to keep the flathead :04: He spread his wings wide and opened his beak to try and intimidate me "it almost worked" but I managed to keep the fish for myself.

    I also caught a blue swimmer crab which i foul hooked in its rear flipper - Is this a new way of catching crabs - It was very nice cooked up with a cold glass of wine.

    Had a lot of fun with the light rod / small reel and will keep persevering with lures - thanks for the motivation guys

    regards Bill
