Great fish you have smoked my PB! I find it much easier to skin the fillets after an hour in the fridge to firm up.

Thanks mate, great to get something out of all those hours. Bream on SP has been a long road for me and much harder than chasing kings, Jews or anything for that matter. Although I'm yet to try black fishing.....

Hey raiders At last after weeks of fishing Jamie park for donuts I headed out to woolies bridge this Arvo and managed two legal bream woo hoo! To make it even sweeter these were my first on sp's, also caught a fat toad fish and had multiple hits so was an exciting two hours. Murphy's law saw my phone dead so no pics but all fish were released for next time. What a sport that can make a grown man over joyed by catching two fish on a piece of plastic! The bream were fat and healthy and awesome on 1kg rod. Now if someone could PM me how to get to pipeclay point I would be very appreciative. Cheers Paul

Thanks guys will give it a go next session.

Hi all I have been chasing kings lately and using up to 50lb mono for mainline. What is the best knot to use with such heavy line to attach to swivel and hook? On another note is it common to be busted off on 50lb??? Thanks Paul

Welcome to the addiction! I'm in Concord let me know if you ever need company.

Okuma salina, great price from the US

Hi spooled I do a lot of light sp spinning and over the last two months have had nothing but trouble with 6lb pe and fireline. The main issue is with wind knots but have also had my fair share of breakages. I tried under spooling and different leader lengths which did make a difference but far from trouble free. I have since switched to 6lb vanish and has been a dream silky smooth, good cast length and no need to tie double unis anymore! I am sure it could have been my setup but what I have learned is not all products work for everyone and there is no one solution. Fireline works great for my mate and he swears by it but I guess we have different styles. And yes I still catch just as many fish! Hope this helps as it took me two very stressful and expensive months to get to this point. Would be great to hear your solution once you find it. Cheers Paul

Hey raiders Hoping for some king SP action tomorrow so my 120mm wrigglers won't cut it. To date I have only used 5 inch gulp shad in pearl white with mixed success. Will be stocking up this arvo! What's your killer king SP? Cheers Paul

Great fish, great story. What a way to get your first!

Have good experience in the area. PM sent!

Exactly what he said. However I did notice the bigger the sp the bigger the fish. I normally use 120mm but only had 80mm last week and most were undersized. Good luck!

And then what you don't use you can put on the Barbie later!

If we ever get another sunny Thirsday arvo I'm there!

I'm intrigued will have to give it a go. Do you cut it into strips, cubes, chunks? I would imagine a prawn sized strip woul be ok?

Water was putrid in berowra last week but flatties were still on the bite, even got a few whiting. Think bream are a little more sensitive and will remain in deeper water until it clears.

Hi all Heading to Gerringong tomorrow with the old man. He is a keen rock fisho but I never had much luck or gave it much time for that matter. What is the recommended rig for rock fishing this area? Should I aim for bream in the wash or Pelagics on a float? Will also be heading to gerrora inlet for a sp session that is more my style! Thanks Paul

Most important thing is to get off this forum and get out there!

Hi Doug I am no expert, but I have had a LOT of luck with 120mm bloodworm wrigglers on 3/8oz 3/0 jig head. So much so that these are all I use for flatties now. The weight is on he heavy side but it will gauarantee you remain on the bottom. Also if you are worried that the 120mm is too big, i have caught flatties on them smaller than the plastic itself. Good luck! cheers Paul

Gulp 3" shrimp in bananna prawn, 1/16 oz TT jig head with 1/0 hook. Lighter the better, they will hit in on the drop most times. TT jig heads are pricey but yet to miss a hook up with them. Nitro are also quite good but never in stock in my local+_+_).

Yes! Been to Swansea a few times now and have it sussed. Have to say as soon as I reduced the leader my hook ups increased. Would defo not use any more than 6lb for bream. Got a beautilful 35cm bream, dropped another larger one plus plenty of undersized to keep me busy. Was only out for an hour with the MRS, I think an earlier start with better bait would produce some awesome fish.

Any joy with bream on the smelly chicken?

Great advice! I was bream fishing over the weekend and changed to 6lb vanish leader from 14lb I use for flatties, this seemed to help. Also removed a heap of braid and much much better now its underspooled. Still get the odd loop but has been roaring wind EVERY outing lately. By the way I'm using 6lb sunline pe on okuma trio 20. Hope this helps someone!

And half the price of braid!

Thanks, will give it a go before making the switch.
