Bream Mad Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Headed to crosslands on the Berowa Creek at 2pm today to catch the last of the incoming tide. The park was packed with long weekenders so much that so that all my normal spots were taken with bait soakers So i decided to head upstream along the track to sus out a new spot. Found a serious rock face vertical into the water and rigged up a watermelow bass minnow. Second cast a flash of silver and I am on to a nice bream I winch him up the rock face he's about 23cm and perform a submarine release from about 5m above the water. The spot is freaking me out and i feel like i am going to fall over the edge so i move upstream further till i find a large rock jutting out into the current. As i work the plastic back towards the rock it sudenly starts falling, and falling and falling When it finally hits the bottom it down at least 6m Then i feel a and up comes my first ever EP, only a small fellow but just beautiful . Two casts later and another bump yeilds a fantastic EP of 33cm I am stoked, and it just goes to show you what a bit of exploring can yeild!!!

Richie Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Nice one! Remember that spot, time, and the tide. EP's are creatures of habit. Also, don't tell anyone where it is (except for me of course, I'm a nice bloke ) or it'll get done over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalliser Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 G'day Bream Mad, Congrats on popping the ep cherry mate. Is that a Shimano Rack Raider rod you're using? Mind if I ask what line rating is that and how do u find the rod so far? Thanks! Cheers Ronald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Well done on your new species Bream Mad. They are one of my favourite Aussie fish. Gotta love 'em! Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bream Mad Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Thanks Guys, Great to catch a new species on plastics an EP's are just a great fish, the big ones really pull hard , i find that their bite is pretty hard to detect, you just kind of feel for it, probably because they are down so deep.
