  2. Hey guys quick report, just got back from little manly cove haven't been fishing in a couple of weeks. 

    Decided to go against the weather experts and headed down for a few hours down to my ever reliable spot. 

    Arrived to get a couple of hours of the run in tide with a couple of friends.

    We all simultaneously had our first casts and we were all on, thing was this was the situation for the next 3-4 hours. Each of us reaching our bag limits on tarwhines.

    Managed 2 thumper whitings which went 44cm and 42cm. Put up a great fight. 

    Later on caught a red morwong? which went 48cm wow what a fight these are some strong fish and heaps of fun on 8lb mono. 

    Bites went quiet and just in time as the rain started pooring which caused us to retreat back to shelter.

    Looking to try a new spot this Saturday here's hoping we get the same luck again.

  3. @GordoRetired Thanks champ. @Mike89 Thanks man, I would've been stoked if I had only gotten the 65cm flattie for the night. It was my first time actually fishing abbotsford so yea if first impressions anything to go by then there's some thumpers hanging around there. Will put it up for COTM once I reach 10 posts haha, thanks for that. @kiwicraig haha yea man I was stoked did not see that one coming, going to be a while since I even come close to that. @Fufu thanks fufu.

  4. So I'll get this started by thanking everyone on fish raider.. For the knowledge I have acquired by lurking these forums for a while. Unfortunately I only done some research on the age of breams once they get to a certain length after I had come home stoked about last nights leaving me with a fair bit of guilt. So please don't crucify me, I am fairly fresh on the fishing scene.

    Me and my cousin were having a feed of Mcdonald's last night and we were having a chat about the weather.. One thing lead to another we thought last night would be too good of a night not to go for a small session. It was a last minute thing. 

    Only around the corner from Woolworths went got ourselves some banana prawns and hit the road. 

    Arrived at little manly cove not expecting much just abit of relaxation and any fish to take home for the fambam. 

    Arrived there about 9pm to catch the run out tide.. Things started off slow with my cousin kicking things off with an undersized snapper.

    Shortly after I was on to a decent sized trevally which went 36cm. Geez they put up a great fight back it went in. 

    Had been half an hour or so with no action so thought I'd take my phone out and put some music on .. Holding the rod with one hand trying to navigate to YouTube I got some nice thumps.. Quickly handed the phone over to my cousin and after a couple of more thumps .. Boom got him he was on and he made me work hard trying to work his way around the structures .. Took me a good 3 minutes to get him up unfortunately had no net..  but that didn't stop me from getting him up. Meanwhile  my cousin was on also and we both secured the catch and it was hi 5's and smiles all around. I had broken my PB for bream which was previously 38 now it's a 43cm model. So double hook up of 43cm and 36cm bream respectively. 

    I had just put my Bait on and I had just closed the reel with in a matter seconds I had gotten the same thunderous thumps.. This time it was a much bigger bream.. This one had me working extra hard went for 4 runs and it still wasn't giving up .. I had just seen colour and could honestly say this was the biggest bream I had ever seen in my own eyes.. I don't know if I had kept to much pressure on him but he went for another run and .. Wow my heart sunk it was gone. Brought my line back in and he had actually snapped the hook. I was devistated .. I'd be lying if I said I knew exactly how big he was but he was bigger then the last one I had gotten (COULDVE BEEN A DOUBLE HEADER ON TWO PBS BROKEN IN ONE NIGHT FOLLOWING MY LAST TRIP) I guess that's how it is though you win some you lose some. 

    They were still on the bite but we thought we'd call it a night. 

    We managed 6 Breams all up, 43cm, 39cm, 38cm, 35cm, 30cm and 27cm and a couple of undersized ones.

    Like I said I only knew how old these breams could have possibly been after getting home having a shower, observing the photos then out of curiousity did some research. So please go easy on me hey.

  5. Long time reader, first time poster. 

    It was a first for many last week to be quite frank. Been fishing for a while only recently started understanding there's more two it then just wetting a line with some bait on the end of it. 

    Have been fishing mainly northbridge these past 10 months or so. As I started getting infected with the fishing disease at the start of this year decided to get myself a boat and go out more frequently and what can I say I'm 'hooked'

    Despite the weather warnings, decided to give abbotsford a crack for the first time last week. 

    Not sure what to expect took myself some banana prawns and bag of frozen pilchards. 

    Decided to fish the shallow waters in between the boats and first cast within 10 odd minutes my pilchard tail hanging on the bottom of a patternoster rig got hit.

    Instantly called it a flatty and I guess the satisfaction that comes with knowing what's on the end of your line makes it that extra special. Had a relative with me and after a couple of attempts netted my pb 65cm flathead. Fought pretty well however imagined it to be a lot smaller than what surfaced. 

    After an hour or so rain had gotten heavier so decided to switch spots. No luck around the gladesville area so decided to head back to abbotsford. 

    They weren't biting so I decided to sit down and make myself a hotdog.. As I was putting the mustard on .. Line started screaming in the rod holder. After a couple of runs.. The net was grabbed and there it was, I had landed a 90cm lizard.. Broke my pb yet again and what a feeling. 

    Only one more flathead for the night which went 62cm. Pretty satisfied with the night ended it on a high because the rain got abit too much.
