    That's a beast @kantong! Was it the kids or your fish?

    It just cements why fishing with bread baits is still one of my very favourite things to do. It's so darn effective because fish love it, yet, achieving a good hookup at times is tricky enough to make it fun (given the softness of the bait). As you have proven, quality fish will eat it!

    On another note, your daughter is like my youngest. Thinks nothing of rocking a ballet dress and a handbag to go fishing. There's one thing I agree with her on; I think us khaki Columbia shirt warriors need to mix it up every now and again!

    Thanks @Little_Flatty! a great way to pass time when the fishing are biting! It sounds like our daughters are the little fashionistas in the family. A splash of pink goes a long to catching a good flattie (so I've heard)

    A good sized fish. Bream like that are stalking the shallows all the time, looking for an easy feed. Occasionaly take a bait with a hook in it.

    Thanks @Yowie, I may have had a bit of luck on my side for this one!

    Thanks @bessell1955, a great little tussle

    Real nice fish @kantong. Looks like it’s been well upstream for quite some time, judging by the colour.

    Another great bycatch on the bread.

    Thanks @Green Hornet, yes it was quite a dark bream. I'm surprised by the size of this fish in this part of the river, usually this is where the smaller bream hang out.

    Wishing all raiders a happy new Year.  I was out chasing mullet with the kids and managed this old fella of a bream, 38cm. 

    Not a bad way to open the account for the year. I hope everyone has a great summer of fishing!

    Fish was released to torment the local mullet population!

    Is there anything better than getting the heads up from fellow Raiders and taking your son out fishing? Great that you worked out a plan for catching the Mullet and seeing the by-catch Bream take the bait. I hope that your son enjoyed his fishing and is keen to go again.

    Cheers, bn

    Thanks @big Neil - A successful outing and looking forward to the next one!

    Always good to score the target species! Great job @kantong!

    Thanks @Little_Flatty, it's an awesome feeling!

    Well done to both you and your son on a successful trip! Fishing involves a lifetime of learning new skills for different species - clearly you have what it takes to become a great angler and educate the next generation as well 👍

    Thanks @FishingFables, there's always something to learn.

    Great to see your plan come together along with some welcome bycatch. Well done both of you.

    Thanks @Green Hornet, can't complain about a bream!

    This is one of the things that really sets Fishraider and its "family" apart and being an information sponge I have picked up so much in the last few years

    Thanks @Robbo from Sydney, these forums are a wealth of information.

    Hi Kantong,

    Well done!

    Mullet are not only a top fighting fish, they make great bait and are an excellent feed.

    I know a professional fisherman and oyster farmer and the only fish he'll eat is mullet.

    So here's to the humble mullet...a great fish but a dreadful haircut!

    Thanks @Koalaboi, do mullet do well as salted baits?

    That’s it Kantong!

    Looks like little changes made all the difference. 
    well done 👍 

    Thanks @Larkin - it's all in the details!

    @kantong kantongjnr is becoming a very good angler (like his Dad)

    I really like your formatting of report. Spacing and dot point makes it easy for me to scan 😄

    Thanks @mrsswordfisherman, hopefully the boy is a lifelong angler!
