The squid

Blue Simmer that was put back

The bream up close

Went for a fish with Nick(parraman) and hamish(flatboy) at Jeffrey Street Wharf... With the intention to catch some jew, we set up 4 baitrunners with snell rigs and a mixture of pilchard and squid. 2 nights previously we attended a squid seminar that taught us the traits of catching squid. half an hour before high tide Nick's baitrunner came to life. Initial thoughts were a jew, however as it surfaced it came apparent that it was a massive bream. It measured 41cm... Soon after Nick managed to catch his first squid. However it soon turned out to be a $20 squid as the squid jig was lost on the next cast. Right on high tide Hamish's baitrunner had a decent run, There was again a hope of a jew but it turned out to be a snapper that had been foul hooked. On my Aernos i had a half pilchard that was out there for whatever happened to come by. It seemed to be snagged but i was pulling in line. As it came to the surface a decent blue swimmer crab could be seen. As it was a female i soon released it. During the period after high tide the bite dies down with only small fish being caught. As i was tending to my squid jig my baitrunner started screaming. As i was on the other side of the wharf i was not able to hook whatever the fish was. At about 11 we ran out of bait so we called it a night.

Thanks mack attack. I am new to fishraider and this is one of my first posts To upload a picture how do u do that exactly??

Had a cracker of a session this afternoon under the spit bridge(mosman side). Went down there to try and collect some mullet for a jewie session later on in the week. All I was armed with was an aernos 2500 with a 6'9 2-4kg raider. Had just about given up as all I was catching were smaller mullet and tiny bream. When I was on my last piece of prawn the 8pound line just flew off te reel with the rod doubling over. I had no idea what it was, small Jew? I had no idea!! About 5 mins into the fight I turned the fish's head and it was all over. I couldn't believe it... A 1.8kg 43cm bream!! What a perfect end to the session and on fairly light gear!!

Oh really?? Yeh I am not a fan of eating west of the bridge anyway I would just be keep fish for bait How is that area fishing at the moment?

Thinking of going for a fish at pier 2 this Saturday night. Haven't been out for couple weeks so don't know what the conditions have been like.. Any info would be great and if anyone knows pier 2 well, a few hints would be much appreciated
