ianoc69 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Nice session Iceman. I hit the Shoalhaven on Friday morning and dodging the wind and rain ended up with 1x 33cm Bream, 1x 45cm Lizard and 1x 38cm Lizard. Got back to a quite little ramp off Broughton Creek and as we packed up the boat we were confronted by Fisheries who asked to see our catch and licenses. I have held 3x 1 year licenses and this current one was renewed Thursday night @ 7pm ready for the Friday morning session and this was the first time me and my old man had ever came across fisheries.

Funny the last time I was down that way fisheries were at the same ramp. Never seen them out the front two ramps though. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bream Mad Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Now is the right time of year to be chasing the treble. Well done anyway Can you actually catch all three at the same spot in the river or do you usually need to go upstream into the brackish water for the bass? Cheers BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers BM You can catch all three from around the same area at the moment as well as flatties and tailor The recent rains have congregated the fish I will not say which specific areas or Ill be shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robeebee Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 thats a good ep there never caught one myself do they go hard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 thats a good ep there never caught one myself do they go hard ? They go ok similar to a bass but I reckon a 35cm EP pulls harder than a 35cm bass IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_lure Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 They go ok similar to a bass but I reckon a 35cm EP pulls harder than a 35cm bass IMO I reckon a bass feels more powerful and takes longer to land, but the EP's seem a lot faster and take more drag on that first run, but then seems to come in easier.. just my opinion though Top fish all round and a nice treble!
